Jumping in where angels have feared thus far to tread, I'd note that the
"SL" refers to the Corpus Christianorum Series Latina, and that volume
143B in the series includes libri 23-35, so the 32 makes sense as the
book number. A check of the first secondary source book that came to
hand that I thought would include references to Gregory's _Moralia_
(Bernard McGinn's _Antichrist_) does in fact cite it and uses a
tripartite numbering system for the work, so I think 32.15.11 is
probably a good bet. McGinn adds the PL loci, which might or might not
be readily accessible to you in print or electronic form and which might
be useful for your readers to have in light of the comparative abundance
of Migne vs. the CCSL.
Hope this helps (and glad to have heard you were safe from the floods!).
