Must be that Bosch was supplying both types at the same time (all of my
'84 and later cars 123, 124 & 201 had splined delivery valve holders).
There are several issues like that (there was a two year period where
some driveshafts were indexed, some were not and some had the index
marked, but the driveshafts weren't balanced using the marks). It's not
as though it's hard to tell. Just LOOK at the delivery valve pipe fittings!!
There are other makers of the splined socket (like the suppliers to
Performance Products and to Sir Tools) besides Hazet. I'm pretty sure
Hazet makes the one that Mercedes sells.
