I don't think that even the diff will swap over. Here are a few points:
SLC and SL have different rear subframes (even if the rear control arms might crossover).
The 86-89 560sl have a different rear subframe than the 72-85 r107 models.
The rear mount for a 560sl differential is off centered, on the driver side.
The SLC rear subframe is the same as the w114/115 models and some w123 models.
The anti-dive / anti-squat was available with aluminum rear control arms in all varieties of 107 (c107, gen1 r107, gen2 r107), and I ASSUME that it would be possible to put the anti-dive systems and control arms into any model of willing to strip down the entire rear subframe.
I've got two 560sl parts cars that I'm stripping down and would be interested in an LSD rear differential for my 5.0 SLC. I might even be interesting in putting the anti-squat/dive rear end into my 280sl.
