Or perhaps a 2.88 from a 1985 300D?
Have I got that part right? And are there any other years models for a 2.47 or 2.88 diff that will be easy for me to get the required parts from, and bolt up to my 83 300CD? Sorry if I seem a little dense, as I am newly afflicted I haven’t yet learned all the models.(and now while the wife is out of town I find myself studying models rear ends???)
Thank you all for your patience and assistance.

The 2.47 will be found on the gassers from '81-'85. I believe that any of them will do.
You can't use the diff from any of the diesels from '81-'84 because they will have a 3.07.
You could use the diff from the '85, which is a 2.88, but it appears that you'll prefer the 2.47 if you routinely go 80 mph.
