I have heard, that the ckd (completely Knocked down) cars that were assembled in India, came with thicker steel plates underneath. (and firmer springs) as the roads maybe slightly less maintained in some areas there.

but as to how you would find out what the PN was/are for those, I have no clue.

I have a 4matic, (which I like to think is allroad ) and it looks like my belly pan is steel, but having not looked at it closely, I won't claim absolutely that it is.

Perhaps someone with the CD can check and see if the 4matic pn's are different than the standard 124's
