i would prefer to do away with the whole butterfly vale and use newer (79) manifolds
I suppose it is possible in theory to put a mechanical governor on the back of your IP, but it would require recalibration by a diesel workshop. And you have to find a mechanical governor that fits, not easy either.

You could install a later IP which has a mechanical governor, but oil supply might be a problem. Your present IP has its own oil supply, later ones were included in the engine oil circuit. The later MW-style IP had the oil supplied via a seperate oil line, the MRSF-style pump had the oil supplied via the camshaft. The intermediate shaft inside the engine was also different to give oil to the IP. So a MW pump can possibly work.

But if you overhaul the pneumatic governor, it will be good for twenty years or so.
