Wiper Blade Sizes for 85 300D

I would like to try the new Bosch Icon wiper blades on my 1985 300TD. I put them on my wife's car and they work great. However the parts catalogs doesn't show this car ! They are 20" blades normally. I read on one post where there are A and B types for left and right side of car ? And then in FastLane I see they call out a 18 and 17 inch ICON blade for this car. What's up with that ? Can't I just us a 20A and a 20B ? Or will they not fit the windshield ?

I was stuck needing blades for my SD and couldn't find the exact size. I bought some new blades that were close & can now change them at any old parts store. The 2 sides were different but that only means that a spare gets stored in the trunk when I buy a new set. (I'm cheap & buy the refills & not the blade.) I suggest measuring yours & match them up.

I think for an S123 the front wipers are both 20 inch and the rear is 17 or 18.

20 inch on 123's and I also did not find Icons for it but Bosch does make an Evolution that fits. They are really good wipers.

Bosch's website says the rear is 16.
