I don't know the part numbers, but I've heard the radiator from a gasoline
Vanagon will work if you swap the radiator mounts to the later style, and
use the shroud, fan, and thermo switch off the gas van.  The bottom mounts
bolt on but the top ones are spot welded.

Something to think about, since the gas radiators are cheaper and have the
thermo switch in a better location.  (Down low, out of any air pocket.)
