So far I can't understand if all w126s use the same one or if they are different. Hopefully it will all come together in the next day or so. I'm anxious to get it fixed. While I'm at it I plan to install new shocks and thicker spring spacers to hopefully correct the camber.

From what I have read here there are two types of trailing arms - steel and aluminium. Both fit on the w126 and w123 models.
Are you aware about the differential mount that can also cause sagging - I assume that is causing an incorrect camber on your rear wheels?
It is worth your while checking the length of your uncompressed springs before re-assembling your suspension and the thickness of your existing rubber spring mounts... I've just put my w123 suspension back together (front and back) putting back in 3 nub rubber mounts after replacing all of the other rubber components. Checking with the data in the FSM the "new" suspension was within limits.
