DD, look upon the oil pan/starter/flywheel (ring gear) as a matched set. They must be from the same type of motor, normally 59A. Here in the UK the Lucas/Pilot parts add a possibility of parts mismatch but if you have all 59A compatible parts then you're ok.
59A type cam/2 bolt cover are also bolt ons. FWIW another French oddity is that the crank/cam gears are cut with the helix the same as 59A rather than 8BA.
