No idea. Every car is different. Maybe, maybe not. You'll find out when you test-mount it. Not a big deal.

Yes, that's the one I have in my 300D with an OM603.

For a photo of one of the "very late" alternators, click
here. That one is from a G55 AMG. Notice the two-pin, flat-blade VR connector instead of a single threaded post for the 'D' terminal - that's the difference.

Anything except the 'very late model' ones will definitely fit.

Don't forget you need a core to get the 'reconditioned' price - you have no core to return. In the USA, some are available for $300-$400 rebuilt, even without returning a core. Much preferred, IMO, to just buy a used one for $100-$125.
