OOPPS... I guess you are right, I got my facts mixed with the issue of the model series designation. In the chassis numbers the W stands for West Germany as you say.
But, for model series IDs, I still think the W stands for wagen (W124, W140, W220, W221... .... ...) and the aformentioned variations such as A for cabriolet, S for wagon, C for coupe still apply.
