The axles we carry with a 72" hub face measurement, like Dexter Axle # T20BTR-7258, only come with a 58" spring seat measurement. I recommend double checking your spring seat measurement to see if it really is 59" and not 58" when measuring from center to center.

If it really is 59" then you can just have a local fabricator custom make you an axle or just have them cut the spring seats off of the axle and weld them back on with a 59" spacing.

You're correct. The repalcement for your existing B12EA-22 brake would be #AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right side and #AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left.
