Well, I finally got around to pulling the cluster out.

The problem jumped right out at me - a little white sticker that says "6 Zyl . 4 Takt"

In other words, somebody pulled this cluster off a 300SE or SEL.

That's kind of crappy news, but I believe it means that my 560SEL actually has less mileage on it than it says. The odo says 186K, but all the records with the car show dealer service to about 150K, when the records mysteriously stop. I had wondered where the car was for the last 30K miles, there were no records. But I'll bet that there is actually more like 150K on the car, which is nice.


Thanks for the advice.
