That's a concern if it has been discontinued on a car as young as 1991. If they do it for one engine variant, then they will probably do it for all engines in the W124 generation...and maybe the W126 and W140 too.
Yes I was VERY serpriced as well about this info.
But I use the Mercedes EPC net program my self and it tells it right in the system that this item is no longer awailable

This number is the complete chain tensioner "kit"
120 050 02 11 and this is not awailable anymore.
But you can not buy the trust pin seperatly
Only the compresion spring and the detent spring can be bought seperately.
See pictur.

But perhaps the unofficail dealers have som unoriginal parts that is still in production
