You'd need to do this through 1934 (in 1935, all MLB teams have at least one affiliate), and in 1937, although from 1932-34 and in 1937 the editing would be minimal, as 14 or 15 of the 16 teams have an affiliate in those years.

As far as figuring out which MiLB team to assign to which MLB team, you could assign randomly, or look at upcoming years to assign reasonable affiliations. Or, given this...

... perhaps those de-facto affiliations could be used to help fill in the blanks.

At any rate, I haven't tested this. There may be other factors that could make this impossible or more-difficult that I envision.

Post of the thread. Great take, excellent advice.
