If I correctly understand your question, you want to know if you can plug an '00-'01 DME harness into a '02- DME and still have it run an '02- engine (albeit without the variable lift functionality of Variocam Plus). That won't work, because they moved approximately 25 signals when they transitioned to the 7.8 DME.
As to melting harnesses, I haven't looked too much at that but I *think* you're OK there. PM me with an email address and I'll send you a spreadsheet that shows the changes required at the DME connector to run a '02- engine using a 7.8 DME and the '00-'01 DME-side harness. You should be able to easily see any potential harness-melting issues.
Note that the '99 C2 is a mechanical throttle and the DME is not connector compatible with the later cars, so the harness you are sourcing must be for '00-'01 DMEs.
