I've just done some research. The "xxxE" designation wasn't used until the introduction of the W123 in 1976. So, it's safe to say that the "xxxE" designation is used to identify all non "s-class", non wagon, non sportster fuel injected gasser MBs, namely the fuel injected W123 sedans, all gasser W201s, and all gasser W124 sedans until the nomenclature change in 1995.
