I'm not sure about NGK numbers. Champion N8 is a fairly soft, non extended nose, 14mm plug. 8 is the temperature range. BMC A series used N5's before going to extended nose plugs. RN9YC, R =3D resistive for RF supression, N =3D 14mm thread as N8 above, 9 is the temperature range but isn't directly comparable with the N8, Y is extended nose, C is copper cored central electrode. If there was another C, that would be a copper side electrode. The temperature ranges cannot be compared across these two plugs unfortunately. BMC A and B series used N5's before going to N9Y's. The extended nose puts the electrodes into the cooling effect of the cylinder turbulence.
The BR9ES is probably a resistive plug. I would avoid these, they're not needed unless there's a modern stereo or 2 way radio fitted. Even if there is, I would try it without first and only go that route if there's a problem.
How old is the tractor? The older they are, the lower the compression ratio and the softer (hotter running) the plug that's needed. My 1949 Ferguson T20 runs about a 5.7:1 CR and uses an Champion N7 plug. I would suggest that equates to a N12Y extended nose type. I've noted the NGK equivalent for the tractor is BP2ES but I can't remember where that info came from.

'm sure there's others who might help and supply the plugs needed.

I can't claim all the credit for finding it, the details were posted on another NG. Interesting site though. All you ever wanted to know about spark plug numbers and more. I can see hours of endless amusement here.
