Dear all,
Thanks to everyone who replied! In case anyone is interested, here is S.
C. Banerji's article from the Journal of the Oriental Institute, Baroda,
Vol. VIII (1958-1959) where he collects quotations of the Hārīta
Dharmasūtra (thanks to the magic of North American interlibrary loan):
https://archive.org/details/ReconstructionOfDharmasutrasHaritaSureshChandraBanerji
It seems to be a little different from the same list in Banerji 1962,
/Dharmasūtras: A Study in their Origin and Development, /pp. 257-289.
I'm still mystified by the precise chapter and verse numbers cited by
the publication I mentioned previously, but who knows.
Best,
Charles
