This is simple to replicate with a couple of relays. The switch atop the upper radiator hose fitting turns on the fan at regular speed, the switch with pigtails at the AC dryer turns on the fan at low speed. Use the resistor behind the left headlight for low speed. Or skip low speed.

7) electric fuel pump on the gas but not on the diesel. I suppose I should bypass this pump but have not yet .There don't seem to be any issues here. It only runs for a second then shuts off for the rest of the day. 2000km so far

Gasser fuel filter by the fuel pump/s might not like Diesel fuel. Should be a simple matter to bypass the pump/s, filter and accumulator. For that matter, Diesel fuel might clean off varnish in the fuel tank over time and clog the strainer. Carry a spare tank strainer and an appropriate wrench.

I could not find a way to wire this to the ignition switch so I mounted a small push button in the ashtray.

The gasser key switch should send +12V to the coil. Use that wire for the engine shutoff solenoid.

Depending on how you use the switch, you can use the coil wire here as well. Hook up the glow relay to the glow relay temp sensor that should be on the engine somewhere to reduce unneeded afterglow time.

Good move. You can port an overboost protection system (pressure switch and solenoid which you seem to have piles of) from any pre-92 MB turbodiesel.
