Actually, there was no confusion at all with this topic at the time: All long wheel-base W126 models ("L") had fuel injected engines. The original line up for the W126 at the time of introduction (late 1980) in Germany was:
280 S
280 SE
280 SEL
380 SE
380 SEL
500 SE
500 SEL
Later, the W126 models grew up into:
260 SE
300 SE
300 SEL
420 SE
420 SEL
500 SE
500 SEL
560 SE
560 SEL
and
300 SD
300 SDL
350 SDL
Note: Not all models were sold at all markets.
