Edwin, I didn't know the answer to your question, google found this thread on another forum if it's of help?
W126 Option 822 vs. stock 560 heads - difference ? ? | Mercedes-Benz Forum (benzworld.org)
Looks like head & Cam....higher output resulting in European cars vs US (300hpvs238)

Hi Edwin, How's the 560 SEL going ?

she is fine, she is currently in transit to belgium, i had this car on a fluke when i was on vacation to see family in the south of france two years ago, i saw her in a barn and I went to speak with the old owner and she gave it to me (incredible) on condition that I take care of it because it was the car of his husband who died a few years before ..
she will arrive soon and she is in good hands, I also have the invoice for the purchase of the new car from the mercedes seller in paris on november 30, 1986

I did think the glass in the roof was cool.
I've had 59 Chevs, 63 Belair and now keep looking at 50's to '70's classics from the USA
