The rear bumper is definitely different between short and long wheelbase. I believe the front is the same. Lower cladding is also different. LWB cars have a physically longer rear door than the SWB.

Since you have a 300SE, you have a SWB, and should have an easier time finding parts from grey imports. That back door was more or less shut down ~1985 or so, so Gen II Euros will be really tough to find without resorting to importing parts.
