Heller originally released the kit in several versions in 1975, including a 105mm version (not used by the French, but sold to the Dutch Army, and eventually replaced by the Leopard 2). The AMX-13/105 has never been rereleased to my knowledge. It was the same gun as the Israeli M51 Sherman tank's so any aftermarket barrel for the Israeli kit should also work on the AMX. Accurate Armour makes one as part of a Sherman resin upgrade set. Contact them directly and see if they will sell you just the parts you need.
