Dear Alan,
I'm glad to see that your car is improving all the time.

K26 is used on Audi 100/200, Porsche 931 and 951. It's a smaller frame turbo.
3LDZ is bigger frame turbo originally used on small Mercedes diesel lorries during the 70's. A version of this turbo is subsequently used on Porsche 930. Thus, I don't think K26 parts will fit.

If you are on your way to rebuild the 3DLZ, why not go a bit further and swap it out with optimally sized Garrett design? As you are quite handy (I still remember your home-made CIS plunger piston) I bet that ensuing flange swap won't present any major difficulties.

Regards,
