This set up / power train was never offered in the US, it was in EU 2013 forward.
Physical / mechanical the transmission should fit.
The larger issue is the programing.
You comments, thoughts or opinions?
Thank you

If the combination was offered somewhere in the world - it will work, you just need to make sure the cars gateway can work with the TCU.
It was even done in W140 chassis cars, some people installed the OM606 turbo in them complete with its 5 spd auto and full works like an S300D
I know it was an ancient spec car, but point is that its doable if the car existed with that config in any market, meaning the "programming" will be compatible.
