My question is "Can these two be swapped? Or does a 0 261 203 282 have to be replaced with a 0 261 203 282?"

EWS is different between the two different DMEs. As far as engine control and all of that goes, there should not be an issue using the different DME, but your other relays and controls, like the EWS unit, will not just take the swap and work. There have been people on here that have made the M44 OBDII DME work on an M42, so it is possible to make it work, but it will probably be more than just a plug-n-play situation.
