John, the VIN tells you it is a Grey Market 500SEL. US VIN began 'WBDCA' or 'WDBCB'

My European 380SE was stolen or I would look closer for you, but the US cars have a black tag in the driver door that states the month and year of build.

Water pumps are about the same. I would prefer Laso or Graf over the Meyle. Be sure to go ahead and flush the system while in there. Use MB coolant or Xerex G05. Block is easy to drain. Inspect all hoses when coolant system is open. Check that expansion tank, if original replace. They are fairly inexpensive.

May as well replace belts as you will be in there. Clean the A/C condenser too, no easier time.
