OK - my memory is slipping - it's the R129 that is based on the W124. The R/C107 is based on the W114/115.
Part numbers. When I owned both a pair of W124s and a C107 I noticed several 107 part numbers started with 124. When I needed a pair of new rear axel half shafts, I ordered them from Rusty - both of them had 124 part numbers, though the left and right were different - the Right one had the teeth for measuring rotation by a sensor for the anti-slip (or what ever MB called it) on the R129 that wasn't on my W124. I had to grind them down to get the axle into the wheel hub. Rusty offered to replace it with the correct part, but I was already driving the car by that point. (He wasn't open on Sundays).
