The Parsifal Set (43856/Trix 23475) is to be released soon.
I don't know whether the Maerklin and Trix sets will have the same coach numbers
The description shows a pair of Avmz207, a single Apmz121, a WRmz132 and ARDmh105. The Apmz, WRmz and ARDmh have black skirts, the Avmz have red skirts.
If you are looking for coaches that you could add to this consist, the most suitable would be the Apmz121 from the 43858 (Steildach) or the 43307 Avmz207. The problem is that both of those coaches would likely have revision dates from the mid-80s, which would not fit with the late 1970s "Parsifal". The remaining option would be the Avümh111 from the 43859 or 26557 "Bavaria" Sets, both of which would have early 1970s revision dates and livery.
The actual consist should be as listed here:

As far as I know, all of the 28cm TEE/IC coaches from Maerklin have been produced with destination signs for assorted routes. Your last option may be to buy two sets and keep the additional coaches to extend your train as desired. Maybe you could apply new coach numbers and car numbers.
From what I can tell, a 6 coach train would be prototypical for the segment Hamburg-Aachen. On weekends, the train would run Hmb-Aachen with only 5 coaches and receive a 6th in Aachen. The segment Aachen to Paris and back would also be 6 coaches, so the set could also be used for the French or Belgian sections. This set represents the train as it appeared in late 1978 and early 1979.
