If nothing turns up your next best option may be one from a w126 with the "B"position at the bottom (same microswitch that 460 shifter box has for "1"position) I had this on my '84 euro 500SEC.
Its function in the passenger car differs from that of the G;
When the passenger car transmission selector is in B, the transmission starts in first gear and wont go to second until you let off the gas pedal or reach the pre-set speed (~10mph?).
When the G transmission selector is in "1", the transmission stays in first no matter what.
Again, these two types of shifter boxes should be interchangeable (may need to re-drill 2 of the 4 mounting holes), all that matters is the microswitch, the business of staying in first has to do with the transmission you are using, Im almost certain a passenger car auto trans CANT stay in first like a G box unless you somehow use G box internals (kick down solenoid, valve body???).
