Don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but the RCTools offer the option to apply a custom selection filter based on angle.

That rcTools page should look more like this

Maybe it needs a restart of the application.

You see the 'Orientation vector' in there which you can set from the current selection. After that set a maximum deviation angle like 1 degree, then tick the check box and click the 'select all' button.

When you don't want to use a plugin you could try rectangle selecting the polys from a side view with the 'surround polygon' option on.

Just uninstal and go to the C:\Users\xxxx\Autodesk\Softimage_2013_SP1\Addons\InstalledAddons and delete rcTools.xsiaddon manually.
Sometimes it doesn't get deleted automatically and reinstalling wont work while the file is still present in that directory.
Hope it helps.

See also the troubleshooting section on the download page. Easy way as I said is rectangle select from a side view with the surround poly option on.
