The way I see it, it must be this engine.

W123.223 1979–1985 230E 2.3 L M102 I4 136 PS (100 kW; 134 hp) @ 5100 201 N·m (148 lb·ft) @ 3500

Now I just went through all the W123 models built for Europe and I can't find any gasoline engine that was injected. None. I suspect it has a replacement engine installed.
