Matching values in different rows and columns

Hello, I have a dataset that looks like this, there is a matching key that goes in zig-zag pattern, there could be more than 3 changes

 

Input:

SourceTarget
aaabbb
111222
bbbccc
cccddd
+++---

 

Output needed:

SourceTarget
aaaddd
111222
bbbddd
cccddd
+++---

 

I have done it using Join tool, but would like to see if there's a better way to solve it

 

I have tried Make Group tool but it seems it will fail if the combination is like below, where it outputs 777 - 999 instead of 999 - 777:

SourceTarget
999777

 

Thanks!
