Spec Needed: Plugging W126 OM603 Dipstick hole. Need size to source expansion plug

Installing a 3.0L OM603 into a W140 chassis, a 1994 S350. The W140 oil pan uses a side mounted dipstick. So, I need to plug the front mounted hole behind the alternator bracket. Anyone have an idea on this? The engine is far away, so if anyone knows an approximate size, I can buy plugs in a range around that size.

Thanks guys!

Basically, if anyone has a front of engine mounted dipstick tube, I just need to know the OD. That's a much simpler request...
