Basically Baldwin and Fleetguard do not show the same filter for the 4m40
engine. The part number should be ME013307 or a ME013343 which both
directly cross to a BD7028 which can be replaced with a BD28. from what
other Pajero owner with the 2.8 have stated the BD7095 will also fit, it's a
few inches longer giving you more filter media and longer life between
filter changes.
I would go with the filter with a dual flow and a bypass valve. The
fleetguard does not have a bypass valve so if it get plugged it will not go
into the bypass mode. Filters without a bypass valve are designed for
engines that have a internal bypass valve.
We already know that what fits on the 4D56 fits the 4m40. On Cummings site
it shows the 4D56 fits the LF3564 which fits the 4D56 form 1987 to 1997.
So looks like a bug in the system on this one. I would not use a oil filter
in a diesel with no bypass valve the Mitsubishi filter is also a dual flow
filter not a full flow. Will the other one work, yeah but not nearly as
well since it's only a 30 micron filter vs a 12 micron filter.
NE, NF, NG, NH are the engine code prefixes for the 4m40 filter 93-00
ME013307 witch crosses to the BD7028, which can be replaced with the BD28
and if you have space the larger bd7095, These are what they run in
Australia and the UK and Canada.

The fleetguard is the only non dual flow filter so I would skip it because it will not filter half as well as a dual flow filter and the lack of a bypass valve is disturbing.
