I'll have pictures of my K&N filters and red-neck crank vent adapters next visit to out Bert.

Crawled down into my 45°f engine room today for fresh pictures.
I came across 4 MAN/K&N air filters many years ago. Using the original DDC hose that connected the original air silencer/filter assemble as an adapter, I glued the MAN/K&N filter on the hose and clamped that hose back on the turbo inlet.
Also, thru this hose I punched a 1" hole for a PVC tube & hose to the Racor CCV system.
Many years later, still works perfect.

I can not find the thread but a long while ago, A HOF member shared some pictures of his CCV mounted rite into the ends of his K&N (like) air filters.
I applaud the simpler install design but still preferred my idea of more low pressure (vacuum) of my install.
I hope that member can join this thread and reflect on how his install is doing after this long while.

Just a quick update on this thread.
My engine definitely ONLY has the flywheel housing breather. I talked to Walker and they said that I need to route only that to the Airsep, which is obvious as it is my only breather tube.
Walker was adamant that there is no issue returning that breather oil back to the engine. It is after all only oil that was turned into an aerosol and then reabsorbed by the Airsep.
I'll do my best to document the installation once completed, I'm about half way through the install and will finish them when I get back to the boat, other projects had me distracted last time out.
