The 300 G-Wagen's in Germany and Austria have the 617 motor in them with a 5speed and locking diffs all the way around. The shorties have a similar footprint to the Gen I SWB body. Not sure if this is helpful but locating some of the spec sheets and diagrams might be of use for your swap. You can probably find them on eBay Germany.
