Mercedes diesel vans always have a three digit number plus 'd'. However, the number is not the displacement in litres. ie 207d. First number is the ton rating of the chassis--2 tons. The last two digits are the tens and ones place of the horsepower rating of the engine. 207=70 horsepower (European) or 216=160 horsepower. (with a few exceptions--for instance their passenger bus (309d) is not on a 3 ton chassis to my knowledge)
When imported officially to the US as Sprinter's the vans lose these European #'s.
