The only other question I had was whether that's the same block they use with the later SOHC sixes, like that used in the 300SE. Not that it really matters.

it is a different block. everything is different pretty much. the m110 though is generally agreed to be as long lived as a 616 617 diesel. very very rugged and powerful engine for its size. especially in euro trim.
