ok, thanks!
I did read your post with the PNs and that is why I asked Kaleb for
clarification. Thanks again for the info!
My quest for a manual trans flywheel for an OM 617 still stands, if anyone
knows where i can find one.

Especially since they're not the same.

That's what the FSM would lead you to believe. In putting together my
240D/3.0, however, I have a 617.912-12 engine (originally assembled with
an automatic transmission) and a 617 manual flywheel (gotten from a
123.130 whose 617.912-10 had punched the connecting rod for #1 through the
block). The machine shop messed up the original balance of the flywheel,
so they rebalanced it by itself.
I slapped the two together and they've been working fine for the last
50,000 miles or so.
