Not the ashtray, but the ashtray, er, compartment, in the lower dash.

I have this clip. I was putting my radio in when I first got the car and the little brass colored, MB stamped clip falls out, just one.
I never saw where the heck it came from.

So I'm lookin in an 83 300D today at the salvage yard, and happen to pull the ashtray, and low and behold, there are those two clips, to the left and right top fo the ash tray housing. So I grab them, go out to put them in mine, and mine does not HAVE the same place for the things to clip into! Not the same at all.
I don't get it, or I'm not seeing something.

These little brass colored sping/clip dealys sound familier to anyone?
