If this came from a salesman I'd consider it a bit of hype.

What is the definition of " . . kept the original wood stock that was on my dash . . ." ?

The next layer of veneer so it is a close match? ( a spare VIN matched piece for every car? I doubt it as this would be horribly expensive for a mass produced car built to a price point. )

The same type of wood? ( Very likely as the cars / methods were still in production 3 years on. )

I would not think that a modern MB would have a wood supply any different than in years gone by.
