The early 260E and 190E 2.6 are 3.27, auto or manual, but I'm not sure about later years; 190E 2.3 16 has a 3.27 limited slip.

The 300SE got a 3.46.

I believe the carriers for all the above models are essentially the same and interchangeable.

I pulled a 3.46 from a 300SE and it won't fit the w124. I parted out a 92 300SL with a 3.69 210 mm that'll fit the W124 with the right axles from a W124
