I was once walking through a wrecking yard and saw a guy working on a W123. He was trying to adjust the sidedraft carb on a 2.3. I didn't know you could still buy this carbed engine after 1976, but I guess that depended on the market you were in.

He said the car was purchased in Germany and bought home by a Serviceperson who had asked him to repair it. I think it was a 230 on the back. It had cloth interior with power windows in the front doors and crank windows for the rear doors. It also had the usual plastic hubcaps you see on some Euro cars, and Euro headlights.

So I guess in Germany you can order up most anything you want, either that or someone had replaced both rear doors with windows running on manual window regulators.
