Just looked at the pictures, it appears there is no trap oxidizer. I have only seen one, on a 1987 300D Turbo, and the trap was a fairly large item, nestled between the engine and right fender.

I have been watching and pricing 300SD's and SDL's for the last couple of months as I plan to get one. 300SDL's with comparable mileage in California are fetching $12,000+. There is a 300SDL posted in Trader On-line, just under 100,000 miles, they're asking $57,000, a bit unrealistic.
