"with the body slightly forward from the shell(about 1/16") and the cartridge body slightly off center.........Am I good to go?"

That sounds correct. Baerwald alignment usually necessitates forward movement and a slight inwards rotation of the cartridge when used with vintage arms.

"is there a protractor out there for sale that is perhaps a different alignment formula that will work based on whatever the Japanese were using at the time so I can align the cartridge according to the table specs?"

Do you have the exact specs for your particular arm?

Vinyl Engine have downloadable protractors. You could try the Stevenson protractor if you wish to favor the innermost grooves. Or the Chpratz one if you wish to choose your own null points.

Baerwald ought to work just fine though. :-)
