My wife has an old 4 D mag. I have tried the led bulb from Maglite and it's pathetic. I wanted to get a Malkoff like I have in my 6D but the serial # doesn't begin with D (What's with that, anyway? Why doesn't the Malkoff fit all mags?). What can I do that is simple to upgrade this thing? I've looked at the old threads and wonder if anything new has come down the pike.

The Terralux TLE-6ex drop in is pretty good (may or may not be what you're looking for though). I've got that in my 4D mag and like it a lot. Brighter than the stock incandescent and also brighter than the magled drop-in. The Terralux doesn't dim when it gets hot like the mag led either... can be found for ~$20 now too. Sky's the limit if you want to spend some money though 
The inner diameter of the body is larger on the old Mags. The Malkoff will be too loose.
I have a old 6D, and my Quad won't work in it.

You can look at the Maglite drop-in/mods thread. The Terralux is probably a good choice.

Can a sleeve be made to fill the gap between the Malkoff drop-in and the D Mag tube? Or is there some other incompatibility besides the larger ID and OD of the old D Mag body?

A couple of days ago I received an modded MagLED dropin with a SSC P4, it´s supposed to produce 200 lumens and is actually equal to my Fenix P3D RB100

You can get an AR-coated, UCL glass window from flashlightlens.com for $6.25 plus shipping. Alternatively, Kaidomain sells a 5-pack of an unknown type of glass window (SKU S003027) for $3.28. Kaidomain also sells a drop-in metal orange peel reflector (SKU S006166) for $15.
Regarding the TLE-6EX, see this post and this one.
