I've been seeing alot of info about the single row timing chain on the early 380sl's. Did an 83' 500sl(euro) have the single or double row chain?

Also the manufacture date on the door jamb says 4/83. The tenth digit of the VIN is a 1(one). I called MB North America they said the car was an 84'. Anybody have any insight.

Thank you in advance
