The information you were given, is correct.

MB's site in Germany confirms that they no longer have that part number.

Mercedes-Benz Classic Ersatzteile

Perhaps the part number has changed? There are several othe rnumbers listed for the bottom hose. For example, 1235010482 and 1235011882. Not clear what the difference is, from EPC or vendors I looked at.
