Its a 300TD. Since its a turbo, has the correct heat shields, a manual sunroof,
and a 722.3 transmission, I sort of doubt its a re-badged earlier car.

I double checked for a "sub-harness" today, and cannot find any support for
a second connector between the plug under the ashtray, and the point where
the harness submarines under the side console carpets.

Tomorrow, I pull the console to get a look at the layout of the plug. If it matches
the 1983 wiring diagram, I'm stymied! The biggest question: how does one implement
the wiring strategy with fewer connectors???
