You missed GM-sourced AC compressors and power steering components (Saginaw rack, GM pumps), the Fo emblem on 900 ABS wiring harnesses (with an ATE valve block and the accumulator shared with a Buick Reatta) and the originally-Jag-Internals BW-35 POS automatic transmissions. 9000s started out as mostly Lancia and ended up being mostly Saab, much to Lancia's dismay. 900 prepumps are AC parts, which is probably why the replacements are so cheap. My friend's (Bosch) 850 uses the same throttle position switch and my dad's 965 uses the same air mass meter and oxygen sensor and probably a whole host of other things.
LH is LH. Different manufacturers had different interface methods (ISAT, jumpers/buttons/LEDs, or the switched ground and the CE light) but the overall system is the same.
For a step beyond that, lots of European manufacturers use the same suppliers for their own versions of common parts, for example CV joints and brakes. Then there is the NG900 using front calipers (I think) and a steering column from a Chevy Cadaver.....
