Ever searching for a limited slip setup for my 280e euro dedicated autocrosser.
Now I am thinking of a 126 247 or 224 lsd.
According to my calculations, with the 224 rear, running in first is within 2% of running in second with the 369 ratio I presently have. Taking off will be without drama though as I would have to baby it to get it going without smoking the clutch.

2.24:1 seems a bit low as the M110 doesn't have the low speed torque. I believe a 3.08:1 would be well suited (300D Turbo, until 1985). 300D N/A had around a 3.4x:1 too.
Didn't your car have the five speed OD manual trans?
I'd just pull a good limited slip from a 126 and install into a W123 carrier of your choice. The ring and pinion is the same, just not sure if the axle spline count is the same.

MB went to a larger ring and pinion in 1986, 210mm or some such. So it will not fit the W123.
