Today I visited the local Citröen dealer. I was naive, and thought that when I told that I needed a syncromes ring for a CX about 1982, I could get one. But no. You need to know exactly which model the gearbox comes from. Is there anybody who can tell me the exact CX model?
You can't. The problem is all gearboxes change with time and variation in models, and there are many variations of this box. The ratios in the version on the Murena tend to be different to most CX versions so the type and part numbers vary. This is common in the motor industry. Even the Murena has a possibility of seven variations of the box fitted! '506' '510' '511' '2GE14' '2GE15' '2GE16' '2GE17'
My car is a 2.2 from 82, but I think that it is the same gearbox for all Murena models.

The 2.2 can have the '510' '2GE15' '2GE17' boxes. Whilst they all had the same gear ratios, things like synchros, selector forks, bearings, etc. can and did change between variations. This is why you often need exact details.
The other problem is this. You say you want some synchro rings. 2nd gear synchro often fails but replacing the ring will not cure it. The problem is that some of the second gears were incorrectly machined and the taper was too small, so the synchro only just touches when new and after a brief period will not longer work as it hits the gear side face before the tapers engage.
I overhauled the box in Anders car with just this problem and had to replace the gear - but you cannot now buy just 2nd gear. You have to buy a complete new 1st/2nd gear and synchro assembly plus modified bearings to suit as they were modified. Cost of parts likely to be well over £300 now.
Also the Citroën dealers don't list the CX now (too old) so it took some investigating to track down all the right parts, and what was still available, etc. (I have an updated gearbox parts manual now!) Also some of the parts are listed as 'back order' and can take three months to get! I have two 5th gear kits on order since mid Jan. and have been told today I will not get them until end of April.
Try HB Pieces for synchro rings as last time I bought some, he was cheaper than Citroën here!
PSA synchro ring part numbers are 2324.03 1st & 2nd, 2324.04 3rd 4th & 5th.
