Does the oil filter housing from an S2/968 fit the 2.5 block?

Anyone how knows?
They have different part numbers but appear to fit either block.

Would be good to know if someone already knew, so I won't need to spend time to try it myself

I have not tried a swap, but I have had both units in my hands, and I think it can be swapped. You would need the housing as well as the short little oil pipe that has the two o-rings on it. And the hoses, etc.

The gaskets are the same for both...

I don't see a reason you couldn't do it

Yes it does. I put an S2 housing on my 83 block.
