Those are USA taillights, on a euro taillight the amber wraps all the way around. It has USA turn signals as well.

Unfortunately the cloth is hard to find, my dad has it in his his 85 300D and we've contacted my parts guy at the local dealer as well as the classic center and they cannot supply it.

If you scare any up send me a PM, I am looking for blue, but if someone has one they may have the other.
For the cloth, have you guys checked World Upholstery? World Upholstery & Trim, American Manufacturer of Car/Auto Upholstery, Carpet, Convertible Tops, Car Seats, Headliners & Door Panel Parts for Classic European Cars like Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Jaguar, Fiat, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo ... I'm not sure if they'll have that exactly, but they list "velour" under raw materials. I bought a nice big roll of MB tex for mine a few years back and lost it ... yeah, I lost a yard-long roll. It's not cheap but it's good stuff.

Great car, by the way, rjz5400!
