Best source for part #'s is MB's StarTek Info site. Registration is free but you do need a credit card # for verification, not any charges. Free access is only permitted for the US. Enter your VIN, and parts will be specific to your car. It will also tell you if original parts have been updated with new numbers. For example, your center vents are p/n 1298300354, a set I have is 1298300654 from MY'99. If they are interchangeable, the the EPC (electronic parts catalog) will tell you.

EPC is being cranky this evening so try this instead.
Go to
http://www.auto-parts.spb.ru/cat/cat...&client=dr2000
a parts/systems site sponsored by MB Club in Russia-
Enter your VIN where indicated and clik the button to the right of the VIN
Select/clik your Car from several that will show up on the next page.
A systems page will open, clik on Heating and Ventilation, group 83
On the next screen, select sub-group 165, Air Guide.
On this screen you should see a picture of the air delivery components and the center vents which may be labled Center Nozzle. Look below the schematic for the part numbers.
After all this, call your dealer and confirm part #'s that will work in your car.
I was keeping mine for a spare since they're hard to find used and expensive new. If you find out it will work in your car as confirmed by the Dealer and you're serious about buying it, PM me and we'll figure it out.
