What's wrong with your compressor? Are you sure it isn't a Klima relay, hose or clutch problem?
The 300D and 300E of the same year have the same cabin volume but the D has the 10PA15C and E has the 10PA17C. I doubt it's a capacity difference. IIRC, the 190D, 300D and 300SDL of that vintage use the 15. That's a wide variance in cabin volume for a single compressor to cover for capacity to be a factor between gas and Diesel 124s.
It's easy to swap manifolds so that shouldn't stop you from getting a compressor from a different year or model MB. If you can swap the clutch and live without a compressor rpm sensor, you can expand your search for a 10PA15C to Hondas, Toyotas, etc.
