I have a Schneider 75mm Super Angulon f.5.6 which vignettes slightly. I'd like to use a center filter on it but I have no idea which one to use. If anyone has some information or knows about how to find the proper filter please let me know. Thank you.

The descriptions tell you which lenses the various filter models are for...

If you want the Schneider-made filter, Schneider's US website doesn't seem to have this information, but it is on the website of the parent company: look for the pdf file "Center Filter" at http://www.schneiderkreuznach.com/pdf_downloads.htm.
Probably any center filter with the correct mounting threads would work well enough.
The Schneider wide-angle lenses all have their own specific center filter. The correct center filter for the 75mm/f5.6 Super Angulon is the Schneider 67mm #3 center filter. This filter has an 86mm front thread to allow for the use of additional filters without vignetting. They're not cheap ($308.95 @ B&H).
Be sure to read the fine print from Schneider. With some wides they also list a weaker alternate center filter. I would only use the stronger filter if doing architecture or other man made continuous tone objects. For landscape I would choose to save the 1/2 stop.

I used to have one of these lenses - I used the same IIIb which I use on my 58mmXL and 110mmXL. I was very satisifed with the results.
If interested I sell my Schneider centerfilter type III for the SA 75/5.6 I've used it with my SA 75 untill I changed to the SS 80/4.5 Xl and I bought the proper centerfilter (IIIb) for it. Filter is two years old (bought it new) and I am amateur no professional. Filter is like new and comes with original packaging.
Bart,
