Using metafields for that it's not a good idea, because multiple things can be wrong like your client creating a handle redirect.

A handle goes to a single product but multiple handles can go to the same product, maybe that is your problem. Another trouble with your code is you convert the product title if it contains / or , so maybe they're different products but after your title conversion, they look similar... You should remember the handle can be edited, or changed to a redirect.

Another way to achieve this can be using collections, it will be easier to maintain, adding or removing products from the collection. Adding a product metafield to save the collection will help on easy maintain and detach the collection from the product handle.

STEPS:

• Create a product metafield single line text. name: Collection namespace and key: upsales.collection
• Create a collection by product with all the products you like.
• Save the collection's handle on the corresponding product metafield.

Done!

now your code should be:

<div>
  {% for up in collections[product.metafields.upsales.collection].products %} 
    {% if up.available != blank %}
       <!---  the rest of your code --->
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
</div>
