Roof control module

Hi,
I've just bought a late '96 R129 at auction and it seems someone's pinched the roof ECU.
What part number(s) do I need to search the breakers for?
Is anything else missing from this picture?

You are looking at $500 used if you are lucky to find it.

Give me a part number and I will check if I have one.

The dealer tells me the part number is 129 820 39 26.
A breaker here in the UK has part number 129 820 31 26. Anyone know what the difference is and will the 31 26 work in my car?

Those part numbers are interchangeable. One may signify that it is reconditioned. So yes, it will work.

Sorry, I should have said. I phoned a dealer and he confirmed that they are interchangeable. Maybe this info will be useful to someone else.

Also, when I phoned one breaker asking for a module he told me I was the forth person that day wanting one. He said as soon as the weather turns people bring their R129s out. If the battery is flat and they jump start it that's when his phone starts ringing....

Mine's all working again now.
