Plus, there's Diesel911's post #16 in this thread that mentions changing over to the new style but does not mention swapping out pre-com chambers for a newer style. Seems likely and more economically sound to update the seals without changing the design of the pre-combustion chamber.

OTOH, I myself have installed injectors on top of these old style nozzle plates without trouble. Could buy you time, at least. And you could test for compression leakage past the nozzles post injector install by squirting soapy water around your injectors, with engine running. No bubbles = good to go.
I copied what I read in the Manual.

There was another service manual I looked in and it was the engine manual for OM 636 and OM 621 which I believe is an older engine. It showed the same what people are calling Top Hat heat shields that originally came with the engine and also tells you to replace them with the newer heat shields. Nothing about the need to change pre-chambers.
