The old part (LHS in picture) has a number #3 on the casting the the new part (on RHS in picture) has a number #4. The "double wings" won't fit into the plastic swivel casing I've got...

...to be continued...
I know Mercedes is "standardizing" many parts...the wings you refer to may have something to do with the reverse light switch, which may be on the left or right side, depending on which shifter configuration you have. MBZ is probably just manufacturing ONE part now that CAN be applicable to multiple shifter applications by just modifying (removing one wing) for the specific shifter- as you observed...
