Hi J,
Yes I am sure that there was an important difference in the car type sump and the "G" Wagen one -- to do with ensuring that the oil pick up would still function on gradients and side slopes. If you search there was some detailed coverage of this topic, incl photos of a modified car type sump if I recall, though said mod was to get it to fit NOT to ensure that it worked the same as the proper "G" Wagen sump.
Cheers
Marcus
"Dai" over on the P3 forum has an interesting take on the stamped steel pan vs. the cast alloy G-specific pan. Have a look.
