Racer, just thought I'd mention, I used the diff out of the '95 E320 in my '88 300E. It is a much stouter piece- a good one inch wider than what I pulled out.....had to use the shorter 1/2 shafts with it. Not really sure what ratios were available or if it would be a straight swap into 202. I know as you said 201 to/from 124 seems to work out.
Also, my car is gutted and lightened like Blind's ( & maybe yours?) so a lot of the shock load from trying to get a heavy car moving is gone.
