All titles can be assumed to be readily available from either the US or the UK publisher unless noted below. Unless they are no longer listed in your country, any local bookstore should easily be able to obtain copies of any of the titles. When there is a status of "Listed only in the US" (or UK) that means specifically that a copy could not be located on the publishers web site. The UK site is easy to navigate but I think slower to be updated the US website. The UK site has the great advantage (for our purposes) of being limited to Everymans Library publications, and very well organized. The US site is more difficult because they have an embarrasment of riches when it comes to editions of the classics; but searching by ISBN seems reliable. Never-the-less, when it is reported that a book is not listed in one or the other countries, it should be considered no more than an indication that the book may be difficult to obtain.
When no ISBN has been found for a title in either the US or the UK then that is taken as good evidence that the book was never published in that country. Occasionally early listings bound into the back of volumes will incude a notation such as "UK Only". Other books have clearly been replaced, such as the early two volumes of the Arabian nights. And other titles are gone because rights have expired, such as all of the Waugh titles.
It can be considered definitive that The Book of Common Prayer was published only in the UK; That The Souls of Black Folks was published only in the US; that the Waugh titles are gone, and so on. But in general the reports of current availability given below are no more than a reflection of current appearances.
