Suggestions for Replacing W126 Drivers Seatbelt

My 82 300SD seatbelt receiver developed a break and other cracks in the plastic surround part, + its mechanism is getting balky when fastening in. Think it's just become harder to line up the belt end with broken plastic guide.

Anyway, thought it might be good idea to replace my 38 y.o. part with a new assembly. I have the notched type belt end. Dealer says NLA, found some new are available on eBay but @$588 total for new belt and receiver. Anyone dealt know of a less expensive solution? Thanks, Don

For now, I found a good receiver from another 82 W126, my original belt and buckle seems OK, but I hoped for some newer belt to be compatible.

Not sure they're interchangeable if so the passenger side one at the p&p should have less wear and tear on it.
