This is a 1983 240D. I assume that this car came with the overflow tank originally?

You can't find one because it never came with one.
The hose tiny hose from the top of the radiator just below the cap shoots straight down onto the ground. Most people zip tie in a Gatorade bottle since it is strong plastic to the side of the radiator to see how much coolant has come out of that hose.
