On the W123 you can remove the shift lever out of P any time. Even if the car is off, without the key. The safety switch for the brake pedal was installed on '90 cars and above (my '89 190E is similar to the W123, but not the '90 300TE). Those cars '90 and above you have to step on the brake (w/ key in ignition) to remove shift lever from P.
Sorry to hear what happened. It looks like a pristine car.
