This is an old thread but your 3rd pic inspired me.
The chrome OEM piece is not my taste in that it looks too much like the Honda Pilot hatch lid.
Looking at the ML, Mercedes went from a top rounded, bottom cornered Honda Pilot-like style, to a smaller rounded style, to a style similar to below where the lines match the indention in the hatch lid. Other current Mercedes models are following this as well even on the sedans.

Here is a pic of mine.
I think it would look even better if it followed the indentations all the way out to the tail lights...

Ala the new GL and GLAs which have a thicker strip that goes out that way? The best thing about them is that the silver in their taillights matches up. This strip is the 3/4 inch wide one.
I saw a thread on another Benz forum where someone did add their own thicker strip all the way across. I was going for the C/E sedan style. I found that the C's OEM strip, attached to the license plate light housing, is actually longer than the GLK's, otherwise I would love a manufactured option.
