The only "E" designations for Bach 'pieces I've seen are the 30E or 32E. If you like a Bach-style rim with a shallow cup, how about a Curry with a standard rim and a Geib cup? http://www.currympc.com/v.php?pg=455

A mouthpiece that is similar to what you're describing is a Mike Finn 4. From his website:
"MF4
"Rim: 7.62mm * Cup: 32.3mm * Throat: 8.43mm
"This mouthpiece was designed primarily as an F/Eb tuba mouthpiece, but I've found it to be an excellent choice for smaller contrabass tubas as well. The shallow cup provides a lighter, more lively sound (still lots of core) and great projection for solo and small ensemble playing. Also perfect for nailing those high orchestral excerpts on the big horn. The rim contour and cup diameter match the MF2(B) perfectly, allowing the player to switch effortlessly between the two pieces as the situation (or instrument) requires. This eliminates the adjustment necessary at the embouchure, and lets you concentrate on making music."
