I can do that. In a nut shell, I rebuilt the 110 MPH speedometer from my 300D with a whole, functional 100 MPH 240D speedometer, and bits of what I believe were another 240D unit that was in the trunk when I bought the car.
I took pictures, and will provide further details when I post them. I basically learned how to change a 240D speedometer/odometer in to a 300D version. Only two parts are different, and they are both simple to change. It should make replacing bad units much easier for other owners of some W123's in the future when they can't find the exact unit in the salvage yard, but want to keep the gauge matched to the differential ratio for accurate speed and mileage indication.
