Deciphering Mercedes Code Plate

Dear All:

I am looking for a resource to decipher the code plates in MB cars located right above the radiator. I have found sites that tell you option/color codes, one that deciphers your VIN into options (which does not work on american VINs - it could do my 380SEC on the chassis number but not on its VIN but it could not do my C280). http://www.mbclub.ru/mb/code/?lng=eng
Anyway, I am lookgin for something that would tell me what everything means on the code plates, including random characters and the binary looking section in the top right-hand corner.

I am attaching two pictures (blue - 380SEC, beige - C280) of the numbers I know circled with green. What does the rest mean?

Thanks for any help,

Greg
