Chassis Number?

So the mechanic told me the front brake calipers need replacing, and that the rotors might need to be replaced. And so i went to tirerack.com to find out how much the brembo front rotors cost.
And they have 2 kinds for different chassis numbers. I looked at the metal plate in front of the radiator, but i don't see any number with the letter B before it (like said in tirerack.com)

can anyone tell me where to look for the chassis number and if i need the later or earlier style rotor? My car is a 95 e320 sedan.



Funnily, the mechanic asked me if i was in an accident (i know the car has never met with an accident before). So i asked why he asked; he said that the caster on the front wheels are already set to their maximum and that brake fluid is leaking out of the calipers.
Anyone had a similar experience?

look at your vin number, I believe they are talking about the last 6 digits of your vin number.
