On my 1987 300D (W124 chassis), the shift quadrant is illuminated by a separate bulb. You remove the wood piece of the console to get at it, not too bad a job.
I've had the octopus in my W123 out and don't think it illuminates the shift quadrant. It appears the octopus is just for the upper row of switches, above the ACC pushbuttons.
I would think the 126 would be similar.
