#2 if it had v shape middle

I attached the picture of the part numbers. The difference would be due to different manufacturers. More then likely Mercedes made a change of suppliers in mid year so you need to look at what you have on your vehicle and then order accordingly. Can you get a few pictures of the alternator on the vehicle and we can go from there?
