If the VIN block of your old tag is intact, stick it over a new tag and attach the new tag to the pillar. Is it held on by rivets as on an early W124?
In my case, I lost an A-pillar trim piece clip so the VIN tag is holding the trim piece in place 
OT - it amazes me that on American trucks VIN relevant info is tacked to the door rather than the door jamb.

That is a reference to an intentional MB database error.
If you call any dealer parts department (with competent people), they will dig through three layers of availability search, then say:
Part no longer available and can not be supplied.
The part number is valid, but all stock was destroyed at end of production.
By leaving the number live, it gives them the option of "at a theoretical future date" making more authentic VIN# plates for people on this list:
