Robert, you've got to be a bit careful here. All of the previous responses are related to the W123 and early W126. I don't think anyone has addressed the issue of the W116.

I'm not sure of the diff in the W116 and whether it's compatible with the W123/W126.

I'd wait until you got confirmation of that.

They are compatible.

107, 114, 115, 116, 123 and 126 should interchange up to 9/85 with maybe a yoke swap and of course need to possibly correct the speedo.

As far as an actual person doing the swap with pics. Johnhef, put a w116 differential in his w126 in this THREAD.
