What are these?

Anyone recognize this pair of Bosch Mercedes headlights? What years and models are they off of.

I was thinking 123 by one being larger than the other.

To know for certain look for parts number on em then go to *************** and surf the catalogue.... they list parts numbers that will tell you when you've found a match.

I vote W123 also, the ribs in the glass look like the lamps should be mount horizontally rather than vertically like a W114 would use.

Those are W123 lights. The tab angles give it away.
