Is there a parts compatibility sheet/list anywhere - at least some of the parts should be interchangable - i.e. primary filters?! I'm sure other stuff too...

I don't have a list but I know the fuel filters for my 603 also fit my 606, so I bet they'd fit the 617 too.

The primary fuel filters are common in the 617 and the 603. The secondary fuel filters are common in the 603 and the 606. I have all three.

Common stuff like lamps and vacuum lines will be common but even window switches are different in the W124 compared to the W123. Weird as it seems, there are actually very few parts in common between these two models. OTOH, within each model there are many common parts during the ten or so years each was produced.
