Unknown power steering reservoir (no part number) - 1997 SL500

I'll keep this brief I can't for the life of me after four hours of searching find the specific reservoir for this pump; at this point I'm assuming its year specific and sold as an assembly. That said I would like to "upgrade" to an aftermarket unit as this reservoir is currently MIA. I only need to worry about the return and feed line sizes; probably going to use a mishimoto unit. In case anyone was wondering the reason I'm looking for a reservoir is because I forgot to disconnect the return line before doing the engine mounts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. pictures of the reservoir and assembly in question are attached. The car inquestion is a production year 1997 r129 sl500; thought I'd ask here as quite a few parts are shared and someone here has probably had to do the same since the 90s right? right?r129 reservoir needed.jpg

Are you sure the part on the car is an original OE MB pump? I think it should have an MB stamp and part number?
