If he just used the oil pan from an r129 he probably wouldn't have to do all that subframe hacking and welding.
We don't see the right side clearance, though it seems to fit. The earlier M119 had a taller block deck making them a bit wider. That must be the one I measured.

Indeed, using an SL oil pan or adapting an M117 one would have made his life easier.
