What you have are usually called cable clamps down south. Takes three per end, and they must be retightened periodically, particularly when first installed -- that could be a pain in the ... for insulators breaking up guy wires. I also recall reading on towertalk that wire rope and 3/16 EHS guy wire are different creatures -- may even be laid up in the opposite sense, though I'm not sure of that. Don't know if that makes any difference for cable clamps. Hope you get your Phillystran -- that's still the best solution, though you will need to cannibalize your existing guys to make "pigtails" to connect the bottom ends to your guy anchors.
