Short of pulling out my W124 CD, I'd have to ask if the engine versions are the same.
The dowel is located on the left side of the engine it goes through the timing chain guide rail. There is a small plug (5mm or 6mm allen) in the cover that you remove to access it. This is on the M104 not the M103 engine as far as I know. Never pulled the cover on a M103.
