Peliminary research shows that both starters are interchangeable, the JX being superseded by the MX back in 1992. Bosch reman is a SR28X for either the JX or MX.

For the OE installation info:

068-911-023JX Diesel Vans 83-Mid 85 To VIN 25-F-065628 068-911-023MX Diesel Vans Mid 85-on Fr VIN 25-F-065628 Replacement for 83-Mid 85

Further research into the Parts films and catalogs reveals that VW and/or Bosch offers NO replacement components for the MX version of the starter (bummer).
