Easier to plug your VIN into the online EPC and get the vehicle data card,
maybe... It may not cover a car that old?

I assume that should tell us what is in my 76 115 300D.

Since my 722.315 transmission in an '83 300D is flaring, I've been told it
needs a B-2 piston. Also, since it has over 300,000 miles I'm wondering if it
might be better to install an earlier non-vacuum transmission with lower
mileage. Would one of the earlier transmissions fit?
Thanks,

If you use an old 722.1 will destroy itself quite quickly. It is a Wx025
transmission, the turbos require an Wx035 to handle the extra torque.
You could try a 722 from an early W116 300SD.
B2 piston isn't the usual cause of flaring. That will be a clutch pack or brake
band. Then people adjust
115.114 (1975-1976 300D) uses the same transmission 722.1 as the 123.130
(1977-1979 300D non-turbo). Both are torque converter design. No vacuum
modulator, control rod instead.
IMPORTANT: late '79 and 1980 W123.130 had a vac modulator, and so the misery
begins. The non-vacuum MB transmissions

So, I might have better luck with a transmission from the older sort, a w116 or
w114?

Anybody know which auto trans was installed in a 300D in 1976? I am finding
722.1 722.2 and 722.3 mentioned. Is it important to use the exact 76 trans, or
could I use something from an early w123?

W115 will have the tranny with a fluid coupling and four speeds.
W123s have a torque converter, but still are four speeds I think.
I don't believe they interchange directly, but usually it's possible
to retrofit Benz trannys. Worst issue would probably be lack of room
in the drive
