Simply, would any V8 driver's side valve cover for the M113 engine fit across different platforms?

So my oem part number is 1130100030 Would another M113 cover such as 1130160005 work? Thats from an SL500. Or would a driver valve cover from a W208 work (possibly the same part number) ? I only need the breather cover not so much the rest of the valve cover. Are all the breathers the same?

Any advice helps.

Sorry, but the part number has to match! If not you will be back whining about the used worn gasket you used instead of just covering the leak with an ole rag.

Luckily I wont need to remove the valve cover to worry about reusing the gasket, any old rags or any oil leaks as its the breather cover I need to replace. I don't have any oil leaks around the covers


It appears that most of of the M113 V8 engines has similar valve covers and I understand that there could be minor variations but none of the breathers look all that different. So just trying to transplant a breather if anyone has experience with compatibility.
