Question on diameter of Mercedes Star

I installed an after market (China) Diamond grille on my 2015 ML. The grille is a littler taller than the one that came on my car even though its supposed to fit ML 2015-16, I was able to make it work but then I found out the Mercedes star on the grille that came on my car is too small. the Diamond grille has a larger diameter star.

I need someone to measure the opening for the Mercedes star. What is the diameter? Since this is a after market grille I need to make sure the OEM star will fit it

Also , do all GLE43 have the solid Mercedes star insert. Since my car does not have distronic cruise and stop feature, mine is the 3D type.

Thanks in advance.

I think I have found what I needed. I went to Mercedes Parts cite and order whatever comes on the 2016 GLE450. It was a lot cheaper than I thought so it won't be much of a loss if it doesn't work.
