I found this page while looking up a model 78: New Holland Hay Balers Model List
Some of the info you are looking for.

Theoretically, if you're making bales with 15 flakes per bale, a plunger speed of 105 strikes per minute will give you 7 bales a minute, which is 420 per hour. That's obviously best case - ideal windrows, no turns allowed
I think most of the high capacity NH offset balers are 90 stroke max?, and I think the 315 is 79? That would yield a max of about 315 bales per hour, so all things considered looks like you're managing about 87% of max, applied to a 90 stroke machine that would only push you up into the 320 bales per hour range.
The newer 105 stroke machines (which I understand you don't want to spend the money on) would be at about 365/hour (at 87%)
That's all back of the napkin stuff, obviously. But it should be pretty close - I just baled 190 bales in a very less than ideal field yesterday with my 311 (70 strokes per minute) in about 50 minutes...
