Looks like anything with a ML5T or C gearbox will do:
- INJECTION ES9J4 AND BVM ML5T
- INJECTION EW12J4 AND BVM ML5T
- INJECTION ES9J4S AND BVM ML5T
- DW10ATED TURBO DIESEL AND BVM ML5T
- DW12TED4 TURBO DIESEL AND BVM ML5T
- DW12TED4 TURBO DIESEL AND ML5C MANUAL GEARBOX
- DW10ATED TURBO DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER AND BVM ML5T
- INJECTION EW12J4 AND ML5C MANUAL GEARBOX
- INJECTION ES9J4S AND ML5C MANUAL GEARBOX
- DW10ATED TURBO DIESEL AND ML5C MANUAL GEARBOX
- DW10ATED TURBO DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER AND ML5C MANUAL GEARBOX

Obviously not a 2.0 HDi 90 or a D8 because it'll have the wrong number of teeth on the reluctor ring

Uhhh well.... No. I replaced the bottom mount on my 406 and there are, as far as I can tell, three different types on the mounting bracket, through which the drive shaft goes. I fit a slightly different one and the shafts wouldn't go through them... so I'd be very careful in picking the correct one.

Is the difference in the drive shafts or the bracket? Service Box is saying there's lots of different brackets but if the driveshafts are the same then I wouldn't have thought it would matter. Or would it? :?

If that's the same side the gearbox is on then it's the short one and doesn't go through the bracket.
