It's interesting to see most of the cars here either have the all black oil filler cap with no markings (save for the "oil" and the MB star perhaps). On mine it was replaced with a much newer cap, which has a marking stating that overfilling the engine with oil could result in engine damage. I've seen those period correct metal caps, and I have two lying around that I bought new seals for to try out, but have never seen the black one with the smaller handle. I've seen the one that installs on the oil filler hole diagonally and the one that installs straight.
If I had my own little shop I'd take out the throttle linkages and polish them individually, but alas I don't. Perhaps even the electric cruise control actuator "motor" unit (brass cover) and the power steering pump cover (the one with the "star" - mine is an 83, 84 and 85 had the updated P/S pump cover with rubber nut).
