Can replace the radio from a W126 with one from a W140?

I just bought a very nice 1990 560SEL that still has the original Becker 1480. Unfortunately the radio is toast but I have an extra original Becker from my 1997 S500.

Would the Becker from the W140 be plug 'n play for the W126?

BTW: Before replacing the original radio in your W140 because of a wonky volume control, try pulling off the volume control knob and spraying the pot with contact cleaner. The replacement I bought didn't work much better the original until I cleaned them. Now both work great!
