W203 Upper hood vent

Does anyone know if the hood vents fit any w203? I want to get a black one for my c55, but it would be cheaper to take one off of a black, totaled w203 from a junkyard, rather than just painting it. However, Im not sure if the fitment for the c55s upper hood vent is the same as the other w203s.
Thanks!

I think you would need one off of a clk, but I'll compare my wife's c55 to my c32.

Just by quickly comparing them, they look the same. I'll see if I can better see it tomorrow in the daylight.

I just compared ours to our c240. It's the same thing. I didn't compare mounting underneath though, but it's the exact same on top.
