I think there is a special section in the EPC for transmissions. Make sure you have the serial number of the transmission (stamped flat section of casting). I think the seals should all be the same, but I have noticed some difference part numbers by serial number in the syncho rings. Not sure about the bearings, but my guess is that they are the same.
I have one of those boxes as a spare (also 116) and I could not see a difference between the original 111 3.5 and the 116 transmission from the outside. Everything looked the same, but it did have different casting numbers. Note that part numbers may have changed due to different castings or suppliers. What is on the casting can be very different than what is in the parts number system.
Do you think this thing can handle the power from a 5.0 liter engine? I guess you will find out
