I have a m72hv oil pump and pick up tube trying to identify the pickup tube I think the pump and pickup and pan came off a R3 engine

Where is the pan? That looks like it fits a box style pan and if they are not correctly built (most aren’t) they are bearing killers.
 
Typically the pan and pickup come as a set. the brand of your pan should be the same as the pickup. Be cautious with these pickups as oftentimes the mounting plate is not machined after being welded. When that plate is not flat it will not have sufficient clearance to the gears and you will not realize it until it is too late. It will most likely break the pump drive shaft and will not get properly diagnosed.
 
Oval track pan and pickup to put a small block mopar in a Chevy chassis. Around my parts, we toss that type of stuff in the scrap bin.
