Here are some number for sugar beet lime.

"Users: the nutrient loading should be accounted for in your fertilizing program. The sugarbeet lime contains: Nitrogen 5.5 pounds per ton, Phosphorus 1.0 pound per ton, Potassium 0.36 pounds per ton, Calcium 570 pounds per ton (80% as CaCO3 or limestone), Organic content 8%, Moisture content 10%-15%, and Micro nutrients typical background levels."

IMHO, I think you are on a wild goose chase with the base saturation thing. Just keep your soil pH, and nutrient levels where they should be and then worry about something else.
