If he is, I'm a Dutchman.  There are _NO_ wishbone arms listed on the
ur-quattro parts microfiche with 'H' suffixes.  Taking the front left:

857 407 153 B             -> 85-C-902000 (also use 811 407 181)
893 407 147 C 85-D-900001 -> 85-K-020000 (later WRs, all MBs)
857 407 147 B 85-L-000001 ->             (20V, cast component)

The rear is even more fun, listing a change on the right only - but the
part numbers are the same before and after the change.
