Also, hate to sound dumb, but I thought that was burlwood, and that zebrano wood was a lighter color and had darker, more noticeable lines...I had always thought that I had burlwood in my car, and the knob (along with the rest of the dash) in your car looks like mine, at least from the pics...
Actually, the knob that I've always liked the most was the stock one for the 210 cars...now if that could be color-matched to my 123's interior...

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on a W123. You would just need a new shaft.
If they tell you that it wouldn't work or if they're not sure, I would do what a friend of mine did. He bought a knob for a W140. He used a utility knife and cut off the black plastic knob that his W124 had, and then glued on the new knob with epoxy. Looks perfect. I don't see why you couldn't do the same.
