You should probably post this in the "Classifieds" (button at the top of the page).
I don't have the forks that you want (not in good shape anyway). but I can provide more info that will help your search
76-77 750 twin fork tubes are the same, 78-80 are an inch longer but otherwise the same. 77-80 KZ650 forks are the same as 76-77 750 twin. The 77-80 KZ1000 fork tubes are the same as 78-80 750 twin, an inch longer than 76-77 750 twin fork tubes.
Hope that helps more than confuses

I have a set of badly pitted 77 750B forks and a set of badly pitted 650 forks, just in case you want to match the ones you have
I have found that the upper fork tubes work real well as cheater bars for my 1/2" drive rachet

I have a little tip for all of you people with pitted forks, or any other chrome for that matter. All you need is tinfoil, soap, and water. Dip a ball of foil into the soapy water and scrub away. It will remove rust, stains, and minor pitting from any chrome surface. You can scrub as hard as you like because the steel is much harder than the foil. After that, just keep it waxed to prevent further damage. I have been using this for years, and it really works.
