They were never badged as 450SE L 6,9. Just 6.9 on lower right corner of
trunk lid, sometimes with 450 SE L as well on the left corner

That looks very nice. I went to an estate auction in Houston once that
had some sort of Benz for sale, might have been a 300E, nothing very
special, and it went for stupid money.

Is that a 6.9
No, the 450 has the 4.5L M117. The 6.9 variant, in standard MB
nomenclature, has a 6.9L M100 engine with electronic fuel injection
instead of mechanical.
Usually (if not always) has hydraulic suspension as well (like the SLS
on the rear of wagons, but on the front too).
Fairly uncommon,

Exactly. The car is a 450SEL (long wheel base W116) with a 6.9L
instead of a 4.5L V8. This is standard MB badging -- if the W116 had
originally had the 6.9 as designed, it would be badged as a 690SEL.
Fat chance on that, there was a very substantial difference in price
point, that 6.9L
Scroll all the way down, more car pictures, no 6.9 badge on right rear.

Are all 450's 6.9's?
