I am unaware of any reason the 99 would require a special battery...

both cars are specced for the H8 battery size, the group 93 which sits nicely in the W124 tray is a bit taller I believe - and the W210 holds its battery under the rear seat (Ive only seen it on a euro E220 CDI) - never seen a US spec W210 battery place or holder.

Batteries
Doesn't the W210 battery sit under the passenger seat? It does in my '96, not sure of the '99. Although a regular lead-acid battery will certainly fit and work, an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery is recommended because the battery is in the passenger compartment. Granted, such things are expensive (about $200) and you have two "regular" batteries available for free. If you promise never to roll the '99, you may put a wet battery in it.

It needs to be vented. Ought to be a grommet in the floor pan right next to the batt.

Most modern cars with a hidden battery have a set of terminals for jumping under the hood

the 210 CDI I saw had the same H8 battery Bosch brand under the seat and it was wet cell, it was vented by a tube in the floor. And to jumpstart it there was a giant nut with a bright red cover in the engine room. That was positive lug, the negative was just anything.
I saw it being jump started by a strange set of cables, they had a round socket type clamp with a locking disconnect - this according to the mechanic's tow that was starting the car was to give max juice - as jump cable tooth clamps do not have enough surface area to transfer the required amps.
