Iīm in germany and we canīt find mercedes part numbers
in the computer at my local dealer.
So if someone can check those numbers or
maybe if theres someone who has parted out a 4.5
maybe i would take those gears from the rear axle...

You are not gaining much with that change. The 3.5 rear you have should be a 3:46 and the 4.5/108 will be a 3:27.
Look and see if the case on the w111 has the oil flow tube to the left axle casing...........the ratio is stamped on the machined flat on the lower/left surface of the diff casing..
