I'm not sure about 124's, but I've come across this issue on 210's and 202's. The parts ordering information may be a bit confusing. Of course, this applies to coil spings ordered from MB. I'm not sure about the after-market.
I work with a great rep at the local dealer and he hasn't let me down yet. He keeps the vin number of all our cars on file and uses them religiously.
