Right now, I am aware of 3 different sizes: 300D with auto trans, 300D with manual trans, and the 240D (I only got the auto DS as an example). Assuming this is correct, then that's really the end of the possibilities.

I get the impression that all of the diesel W123s be it a wagon, sedan or coupe had the larger diameter rear section and the "centre" bearing at the same distance from the differential.
I think that only the front prop shaft sections were changed to suit the transmissions and engine positions.
If you look back at 200T's BW thread you can see a picture of a gasser prop shaft that not only has a different diameter but also the centre bearing in a different position too. Yet more proof that the bear chested manliness of a diesel requires bigger beefier bits!
