Different injection pumps across different years/models?

So in my quest to find a used injection pump for my 1991 Chamonix 2.5, I've encountered a few things that confuse me. First, just trying to find the part number for my own reference, I came across MD171460.
In speaking to some people (at Rocky Mountain Imports, Mendel's Garage, Rising Sun, etc) about finding used pumps, one person in particular (John at Rocky Mountain) indicated that not all L300 pumps are the same. Other folx said that in fact, all L300 pumps are interchangeable. I asked John to clarify, and I'm waiting to hear back from him, but he said it was something that could be found by looking at the top of the pump.
Steven at Rising Sun clarified that the transmission type would actually make a difference, and also said that some IPs were water cooled, but that my 1991 would be an oil-cooled IP, and that while all oil-cooled IPs could be used, most would require some modification.
Any insight? Are all L300 IPs the same? No? How do I know the difference? If different, what kind of modification is needed?
Thanks!
