There's no option in the EPC for the r107 350sl to be a five speed. I think that maybe the w109 and w111 coupe may have had the five speed option, but I'm away from the EPC right now. I think that the 5-speed transmission parts that MBFool needed to do his conversion in the link above are also quite rare.
