Based upon having dealt with this same problem on our older 1980 models and facing a much higher cost for their combination flasher/turn signal switches [~$100], I would say that you have lucked out and that there is a separate flasher unit in your's and that it is most likely the problem... and I think you might find it nearby to the hazard flasher switch on the console.
Let us know how you actually find things on your 1983 300SD... I presume this is a W126 chassis?
