Default MEP003 parts

I have read a whole book of posts here, and I am a little confused.
Some of the posts insinuate that all parts for a DJC will work on an MEP003A, and other posts say only certain parts will work.
Onan's online reference has no mention of a DJF, so I am curious as to how to obtain parts.
In particular, a high temp switch and fuel lines.
How about other external components, except for filters? Fuel pump, starter etc.
I understand the alternator is not an Onan component, but I am just interested in the engine itself.

Thanks.

Talking Re: MEP003 parts

MEP003 is NOT an Onan DJC.... It IS an Onan DJF, which is similar to a DJC but has a different Bore. DJC 3.25" DJF 3.5" Military engines use 24 VDC electrics, where the civilian Onan engines use mostly 12 Vdc electrics. The Military contractors only used the BASIC Onan DJF engines. None of the filter housings or filters are the same as the civilian versions. Military units have the external Oil Cooler option. That is a very rare civilian option.
