Difference between e500 and e55 airbag

Hey guys new to this

So I have an e500 w211 03/02 build I collapsed an airbag in it so I bought a bilstein replacement fitted that to requirement and a day later that tore so pulled it out and it was much taller then the original airbag in there (didn't notice) this car is an e55 mock up before the basic question I have is the e500 and e55 the same height for the airbag because I'm thinking maybe I has e55 airbags in it compared to e500 can anybody shed some light here?

Sorry, but what is EPC?
This airbag cost me $1270 aud, far from a cheap item lol. The dealer won't tell
Me as in Australia you need vin numbers otherwise they won't tell you anything and obviously I don't have an e55 vin to tell them
