1985 FEDERAL W126 (300SD) = 722.303 transmission
1985 CALIFORNIA W/S/C123 (300D/TD/CD) & W126 (300SD) = 722.416 transmission (300SD had a different tailcone for electronic speedometer - 100% interchangable with mechanical version)

From the OP's videos, it appears his car is federal spec., so the transmission should be a 722.3.
Correct, I know mine has a 722.3. I verified when i changed the trans filter and gasket.
