AMG line vs non AMG line side rocker panels?

I'm thinking the AMG line Rocker Panels stick out a lot further. Could someone with a 2018 up E400/450 Cabrio post of picture of your non AMG line car from the side so I can see if those type of Panels might fit my AMG line car? I have to transfer into my car from a wheelchair and because of those AMG line panels sticking out so far it makes it more difficult than if those panels were more flush. I'm thinking if the non AMG line panels would fit my car it might be worth it to put on the non AMG ones and make getting in and out of my car more easy on my shoulders plus less like to scratch up the current panels. I have white tape over it now to protect it, when the tape gets all marked up once every couple months I tear it off and put on new tape. Since the non AMG mouldings don't stick out as far I probably would not have this issue anymore.

Thanks so much for the help , it looks like it would make a little bit of a difference but not much. The main issue is the car is lower than what works for me as an easy transfer, the other issue is the doors are so long that I was forever getting blocked in when I could not find a hp spot. I really liked the car a lot but it was just not practical for me and I really could not transport all my wheelchair tennis gear with the car in a easy enough way. It broke my heart but I traded the car in a few days ago for a big S550 sedan for a roughly even trade on a 2017 with only 16K miles. The car is so much more easy for me getting in and out and just a better car for me. I kinda missed a V8 also, nothing like the torque of a 449 hp V8, I had a 2015 S550 I traded in a year ago and missed that car.
