I have a 300D with ripped seats. Picked up some 240D seats(supposedly) have no arm rest. Can I transfer it? Thanks

No, all W123 seats did not have arm rests.

Anyone know which model and year did not have it and is it possible to add them?

Yea it is fairly easy to add. As for the models without them, no idea. I've noticed most of the Euro imported W123s with the manual transmission don't have front armrests but not all. I doubt that is any help but just an observation.

Yeah that is definitely not true, but you can easily put an armrest on. Where it bolts to the seat is all underneath the upholstery on the side. You'd just need the hardware and to cut a hole as far as I remember.

The FSM has the destructions. I think the seat back is basically the same between driver and passenger side. The arm rest can be added to a back that doesn't have it.

But for one key difference: the seat pitch adjuster is side specific and cannot be moved.
