quickest way to tell is look at the pins that hold the pads in.
bendix uses hairpins to hold the pins in.
ate uses pins that have grips on the back side, so the pins just protrude from the front... no hairpins in them.
also, bendix springs that hold the pads down are coiled wire, and ate uses bent plates of steel...

I don't think that is going to answer the question at hand.

I found that part number to be applicable to the front brakes on the '86-'91 (more or less) 300SDL, 300SE, 420 SEL, 560 SEC and 560 SEL.

Go to your favorite Internet Parts Store and look up the Hardware kit for the Calipers. They will have bendix and ATE (TEVIS, or TEVES) and the The Bendix kit will be differen from the ATE kit will be different just as vstech said.

On the W123 I don't remember there being any difference in the Brake Hoses meaning yo can use the Hoses on either make of Caliper.

From all indications, the OP already knows that he is referring to Bendix calipers.

You will likely have better luck finding a match on the '87 SDL.
