Not full removal out fromnunder the car….- does it have to be (and can it?) be removed out from under the car/is there enough room to do this - or can it be wiggled around enough to reach in between it and the oil pan to install the seal?

Can’t help you there. I did the job on an m62, and was pulling the motor. I don’t recall how much lateral space was available to maneuver the diff and if it was enough to re-seal it without dropping it out entirely. You wouldn’t need much, but it was very, very tight.
