Hi, it could be an OM601 engine. It sounds similiar to the diesel engines used in the W115 series. What is the cubic capacity and what year is the ambulance?

From the list of numbers you give your gearbox appears to be a 711.113. Can't find it but here is the 711.110

If they're like the later cars, the 711.113 and 711.110 will be fundamentally the same box with minor differences for the model it was installed in

I'd pull the box, locate a replacement with the closest model number you can find, and compare them to see if it is suitable
