Re-read my post #9. Re-use the outer fittings, just add new hose.
If you do want to procure new fittings, it will take detective work. I think they are an O-ring fitting w/ metric nut and perhaps not even the same tube size as SAE O-ring fittings. That is why Rollguy decided to just braze an old M-B fitting to form his custom hose assemblies. Don't assume that Europe was standardized on fittings in the 1980's. A Wheeler Dealer's episode explored that when trying to source a hose for an Italian sports car in England. They said Lamborghini (?) used an unpredictable mix of various fittings. Ditto for other rare fittings on your M-B.
