It would be lunacy for the MB engineers to use a custom part for this instead of something off the shelf.

The factory bearings in a W210 are either FAG or NTN, the replacement kits usually have timken or SKF
I was looking up bits n pieces of information, the wheel bearings for a W211 RWD are
set 12 for the outer - cost 5-20 dollars depending on where you buy
the inner one is part number 140 981 03 05 which coincides with 32008XQ (metric sized) - range from 15-40 dollars depending on vendor/brand - I believe this part is also employed in the W220.
all you need from the dealer would be the grease seal which has the ABS tone wheel magnets in it and a tin of grease from your parts store.
