You missed the thread "Seeing old Mercedes Benz in Muslim countries" (7-16)
which has several theories as to why there are so many there, and also, it includes a link to a translated story explaining whey so many of them are specifically in Lebanon.

(Many were brought back as proof of wealth by returning Gastarbeiters from Germany, the cars are prestige, even when old, but also durable and hold their value and worth, there are lots of reasons there are so many there)

The most common ones still in the Middle East appear to be the W123 sedans
(gas not diesel)
