Differs from the "300D" OM617.912 and later by having, as you noted, a rounder intake manifold and the oil filter is located under the servo pump instead of back of the IP.
Great engine if you want to convert a column shifted W108 or W111 to OM617.

Wasn't the 240D 3.0 produced in 74-75, though? It's weird that monomer's car was sold as a "1972 300d." Guess it was just re-badged and then someone got confused about the year?
