Sell me that setup that you have for a reasonable price and I'll send you my core when I remove it?
Yes, the pyrometer probe is on the left half of the throat of the exhaust manifold.
The cooper tube (to the right of the pyrometer probe) is for an exhaust pressure sensor.

That exhaust manifold was ceramic coated by Accessories Plus in Belmont, CA for $150 in 2019.
It is currently installed in 'Desert Rose'.

I do have one set of uncoated stock non-EGR W116 300SD manifolds available.
