MF65 with the 192 cubic inch diesel

Hey folks, new to the forum, but I'll be around a bit I would imagine... I picked up this ol gal last spring, used her well this past summer and fall. Had to do some repairs this winter and have encountered a problem. My parts guy had me convinced I had the 4a-203 (the indirect injection model), turns out I have the MK1 MF65 with the A4.192 perkins engine in her... I am having a terrible time figuring out what parts are interchangeable on these models and whether or not I can even FIND parts for this thing... I am in the middle of a clutch and lower end gasket job right now, I'm having to make my own gaskets since the kit I got doesn't work, NOW I'm worried about this clutch... The release fingers do not seem to be the same length between the new one and the old clutch I removed... They seem like they will line up on the new throw out bearing, but I'm worried about installing this thing, can anyone tell me if I should stop and wait till I can find a clutch for the 192, or if I'm good to go and just install the new one after adjusting... I have a good service manual, but I don't think it says anything in there about the older 192 engine...

If I cant find anything for this tractor, I'm afraid I'll have to send the ol gal to someone else, hopefully re-assembled and working instead of a basket case... I'm quite disappointed now and hoping some folks on here can give me some hope, I really like this ol tractor, best one I've used on the farm to date, but if I can't get parts, or have to special order them from europe, then I don't think I can keep her around.

Forgot to add... I'm 99% sure this is the 192 engine, it has a 2 piece oil pan with a wedge shaped rear section, which I have been told on another forum is the most sure sign that I do. My serial number is 677230, from TractorData.com this says I have a 1960 model which is right during the changeover from a MK1 to a MK2 tractor...
