I'll see if I can shed some light...

" I called the agents,
they gave the part number as 034 115 105D.  All come back and indicate the
part number as 034 115 105A for the MC Gen-1 engine."

True.

"I was also informed that the part needed for the MC is different for the
one required for the normally aspirated car (the 5k and 100)."

Nope, false.

There's only two oil pumps for the 5cyl range. The 105A and the 105D. The A is
for any motor not taking the upgraded tbelt that came in mid '88. The D is for
any model that is running that belt. Now your car isn't a US spec, correct?
Have you ever bought a tbelt for it, and if so, what p/n was fitted? I'd bet
you've got the later 142tooth belt and would therefore take the 105D oil pump.

Hope this helps,
