Exclamation ran my 190e out of oil! Need some advice on swapping rocker & cams

I'm trying to figure out if I can put a cam, bearing caps and rockers I got from an early 1990s 300sel 3.0 into my 1990 190e 2.6L. I ran out of oil driving up i80 on my way to Reno. Luckily I pulled over quickly before any major damage was done. When I got it home I put oil in and started it up, the engine nock went away, after taking the pan off and plastigauge the crank shaft clearances found it is still in tolerance, its overall in good condition.

It's obvious that someone had worked on the engine in the past it looks like the exhaust side of the head was machined so the S stamped in the side of the head is missing, I can't tell if it has a hardened cam or not.
I found that the bearing caps had been installed in an incorrect order the worst being #1 was on #6. #6 had a huge chunk of metal missing from right beneath the exhaust side rocker. The aluminum pieces where found in the oil. The cam is scored at the bearings . I need some advice , thanks
