That might have been a meaningful question with my S420, but with most of the
cars I've owned,
the answer would have been 'another car'.

I think the pre-1981 have Imperial units for the temp and
pressure.  All believe US models have Imperial speedometer.

This is based on my observations.  Most of my 123s are 1981 or
newer, but my '78 and the other older ones I've seen support it.

A customer of mine is trying to sell a 77 240D on consignment.  
The car looks pretty clean, no rust etc.  Has actual leather which 
I have not seen on a 240D but the drivers seat is cracked etc.  He 
wants $4k for it.  Dealer knows the guy is on crack.  I told him 
to tell his seller I might be interested at $1500, but really that 
is way over my normal limit.
