MIGHT be able to do it without removing the crank and without disturbing the timing chain etc. by pulling all the main caps and lifting the crank at the back. It MAY come up far enough to do the seal. I'm not sure.

After thinking about it a bit more - I think you'd probably have to jack up the engine a bit to get the upper oil pan out. The cross member under the engine on a W123 would probably get in the way - as would the motor shocks.

i haven't come across info for upper pan removal in a 123 w/engine in cah,
as far as someone having done it
