The European equivalent for the 2N3639 / 2N3640 is BSX36
And for the 2N3693 is BF365, BF241 and also 2N3664
This according the 'DÖV vergleichstabelle' maybe that's of any help. 
I didn't check the availability of the parts, but a quick ebay check 
If it's of any help I do have about 10pcs 2N3639 (NOS) in stock.

I've tested exactly those types. They are all too slow. For example, when
you cascade the three independent stages on an R211 module, feed the first
stage with a clock of around 1 MHz, and just replace one of the 2N3639 with
a 2N3906, the turn-off slope after the last stage will be delayed from
around 30ns to 200ns!
But we will test the trick with the Baker clamp on the 2N3906.
