The one i have for the diff is a 909 ex works pump with rad and pipework etc as per photo. Easy enough to copy and no thermostat is required.
The cooler is a small 13 row type, however any similar size will be fine, not only will it allow more oil but obviously lower temps.

That's a really helpful pic, Jano.
So they ran no thermostat? Interesting. You dont have to worry about over cooling the fluid then?

Well if your over cooling the oil then your obviously not using it hard it enough and wouldnt need the cooler in the first place.
