epc-net online data sheet for my car vin is inconsistant with my actual car...

So, I pulled the data sheet for my car's vin number...

The first thing that pops out, is that the paint code is 040U, which is black, and and the leather option code of 201A which is Black/Anthracite.

My car is Steel Grey, and my interior is beige...

This is a little disconcerting....

Did you buy new or preowned?

It was pre owned, but the EPC site pulls its data from MB (its run by MB), pre owned or not, the car has ever been painted, or its the best paint job I have ever seen

It was a CPO from a MB dealer

Something's fishy. Too many errors on your VIN. I'm guessing maybe a buyer requested the changes and it wasn't updated.
