Radiator ID help

I'd like to see if this 2002 Clk430 has the radiator not known for the trans cooler leak, what am I supposed to look for? I did a search with no luck.

MB used both Valeo and Behr radiators during W208 production.

The radiators that leaked coolant into the transmission were made by Valeo.

There should be a sticker on the radiator with the part number and manufacturer's identification (e.g. name or symbol) and/or impressed onto the plastic section.

It's usually on the driver's side or top of the radiator.
