1999 ML320 waterpump. Is it 2 or 3 hose?

Online shopping at Rockauto.com shows both 2 hose connections and 3 hose connections. I'm out of state and need to buy the correct parts then fill the radiator and drive a mile to a repair shop. Dealer wouldn't /couldn't tell me and only carries re-built.

Thanks ever so much. I was faced with taking the radiator off to ck the pump type and putting it back together to drive to the shop I want to do the work. I usually do any work I don't need special equipment for but I'm traveling and only have a couple of tools with me. I just started on my way to 300k about a thousand miles ago. I bought it as a demo in 1999 with about 3k on it. Great vehicle. Only had troubles with the fuel pump and harmonic balancer but not lately. Now my AC compressor won't come on but it's full of gas. For another forum, another time. Thanks again your participation in these forums is priceless.
