Could be.
Didn't the 96 E320 still use the M104 engine? IIRC the 97 went to the new M113 V6.
I don't know the particulars for your car but I do know that the instrument cluster plays an important and vital role in system integration in the newer CAN based control systems. They are not plug-and-play components anymore.
I think Programma can fix the "missing pixel" problems with your original cluster and if I were in your shoes I would try to find somebody to fix your existing cluster.
