Brewing this today. (octoberFAST)
Have everything but the Pilsner,have marris otter and 2 row.
I would think the 2 row would get me the closest?
What would you do?

8.50 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM
5.00 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM)
4.00 lb Munich Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM)
2.00 lb Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM)
2.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM)
1.00 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM)
2.00 oz Tettnang [3.20%] (60 min)
1.00 oz Tettnang [3.20%] (45 min)
1.00 oz Tettnang [3.20%] (30 min)
 
IMO either would make a nice beer. The MO will give you a little more malt presence than standard 2-row. 2-row would be closer to the Pilsner malt.

Both will be different from the recipe attached.
 
I agree that two row would be closest.
Oktoberfest being a malty style and the amount of Munich and aromatic in the recipe you probably would be fine with the MO either way you will make beer.
