The old rules for qualifying for Marriott LT Platinum did not include adding nights from the SPG program, so no.

The "old rules" are the old rules. They aren't "the old rule plus some new stuff"

The Lifetime Marriott points that any member has are listed in their Marriott profile. That's true whether or not you are also an SPG member. It's no harder if you are a member in both legacy programs.

I only have 200000 Lifetime Marriott points but if you take my lifetime Starwood points and multiply by 3 I probably have 20 Million!
Then you have 200,000 Marriott points. Your SPG points have never had anything to do with your legacy MR balance for earning MR LT status.
