The Archives of Seville, Spain may have that data, Piratemax. That's where the manifest of The Atocha was found by Mel Fischer's researcher. They are real hard to read, though.

If a galleon reached destination there is no administrative reasons to be a cargo manifest. The Atocha there was documents because part of the cargo of the Santa Margarita it was recovered.
