You've made a good point.
However, it was interesting to note that the Haynes manual for my 190e specifically mentions "Petrol & Diesel" at the end of the title.
Anyway, it seems Brooklands publishes a service manual which covers th W123 200 Petrol version.
Here are the links :

They are UK sites.
Cheers.
