What I have found so far

While doing a little research on this I was looking at the picture of the torque converter housing on EPC for my transmission which is a 722.621 from a 1996 SL600. The picture shows a cutout for an ignition pickup which my trans does not have. I thought all cars with the 722.6 had the ME fuel injection and ignition system and that none of them would have this cutout. While the picture is showing the cutout I know if I order that part number it wont have it because mine doesn't. Does any one know which cars used the 722.6 trans and used this pickup.

I also found that the Early M120 used the same flex plate as the M117. The later ones used a different integrated flex plate, ring gear and 60-2 toothed wheel. My guess is the only real difference is the 60-2 toothed wheel and that the torque converter from a 722.6 will bolt to the earlier M117 flywheel. I also already know that the 722.6 shifter from the 1996 SL600 fits perfectly into the 107 without mods.

It's starting to look pretty good but still not a firm yes.
