Is there anywhere I can find the OE manufacturers of various MB parts?

For example, I was looking for transmisison filter in a Canadian online site and I found this (for my 2004 CLK320):
Hastings $53
Back Arnley $29
Fram $48
OEQ $14

As for fuel filter, I found:
Mahle $45 and $48
Ac Delco $48
Hastings $59
Replacement $31
Beck Arnley $52
Mann $56
and many more.

As you can see, there are many selections and the prices varies significantly.

If there is a way to find the MB OE maunfactureres, this will help us to select our parts.

I'd say try pelican parts.. That's one place I know that stocks both genuine oem and aftermarket alternatives on most parts.. I'm sure there's plenty others that other members can suggest

The OE fuel filter is a Mahle Knecht.

RMeuropean shows OE and alternative on their website.

^ i would do as glynn has done.
cross check with rmeuropean and autohausaz to see whats oem and what not. those are good sites as well for parts

I went to Autohausaz and the ATF for my car is as follow:

00004330401 Fuchs OEM
ATF, Automatic Transmission Fluid; Lifetime Synthetic Transmission Fluid; 1 Liter Bottle
For Mercedes models with 722.6XX electronic 5-speed automatic transmissions, NOT for later model 7-speed 722.9xx automatic, please verify type of transmission. Fuchs is an OE supplier to Mercedes and this meets MB standards 236.10. Up to 9 liters per car with complete drain, 4.5 - 5.0 liters on service flush only.

Although it says OEM, the description does not seem right.

As for the transmisison filter, it lists: 1402700098 Mann Transmission Filter Kit. This one does not even say OEM.
