I went thru this about 14 years ago on my old 81 rangie, took me ages to carefully ream the bottom bush out untill it was a nice snug fit, also fitted one of the LRA stellite ? lower seals and she was oil tight for years after that- thinks its still leak free now.

Given the weight on the front end of the 120 with a PTO winch, I decided to get a 4 bolt box, even though I had a spare 3 bolt in GC. (Keeping that in case I need it on my 90,)

From memory, the S/H 4 bolt set me ~$350 on fleabay, including shipping to Perth.
