First, the Series 3 has a rare close ratio box. The later Series V box is
close, but not that close. So, it's a pretty rare box. Add to that, you
have an OD S3 box, it has to be even rarer. I'm not sure I'd rush to get
rid of it.
As to putting the OD you have on the later box, the main shafts are
different. They are much longer on the OD box. So, you would have to
pull the main shaft out of your S3 box, and swap it into the later box.
I'm not sure they are compatible. But, at a minimum, you would have to do
that.
