Actually, although the suspension itself more closely resembles the 122 wagon's, the actual mounts on the 140 axle are really scarcely different than the 1800E's. It's just that the Panhard rod is on the wrong side on a 140 axle.

Both axles use a dropped mount for the main arm, with a single hole in it, and an inboard position for the torque arm. The 122 wagon uses a double-bolt on the dropped mount to the main arm, and an outboard location for the torque arm. Although really, it might not make much difference if you just bent the arms inward/outward slightly (they are on bushings) and bolted them up, using just one bolt on the bottom.
