Question Compressor 560SEL - EURO vs. US model

QUESTION: Does anyone know whether the Nippon Denso 10P17C compressor used in the US W126 models is the same (or compatible with) that used in the Euro edition?

Tech just called to report that my '91 EURO 560SEL's A/C compressor has leaks in all its seals. (Not a huge surprise--my low mileage beast sat in the original owner's garage unused for years.) Anyway, tech recommends replacing the compressor... and if the readily available Nippon Denso isn't the right one, I'm thinking I'm in for a tough time finding a rebuilt unit that will work.
