which models have stock MB laurel leaf center caps?

I'm trying to figure out which MB models came standard with the blue laurel leaf center caps. There doesn't seem to be any logic to which models MB put these on. Was this a stand alone option for any model? What was the cost?

Then there is the black laurel leaf ones, which appear to be rare. What models came with these?

Are all late model MB center caps the interchageable?

I believe the more common one is the chrome star with the chrome ring and I've also see the all silver ones with the star...

Which type is "standard"?

thanks.

Those are in the accessory catalog. I have never known them to come on cars from the factory - to my knowledge.

you can get them at your local dealer - I think they were like $15 and should fit all Benz wheels
