It is possible that later 124s had more sophisticated electronics ("convenience modules") and got along with one switch for each front door. My '87 needs 2 as shown in the attached picture, taken while I was replacing the dash in 2009. I had upgraded one of the switches but the other was still the old style. Since then I have upgraded all of them.

Is there a locking version of the glovebox switch available?

It's been a while since I looked in the glove box of our 300TE but I think I remember seeing a gray pin switch in there.

I didn't realize the front door 2nd switches were for the seats. Always wondered what they were for. Thanks for that info! I only placed the gray pin switches for the dome light, since I don't think I have any reason to use that type of switch for the electric seat adjustment.
