It seems W462 was assembled also in Turkey. Who knows, as W462 was code for cars sent abroad in CKD kits, maybe very early Polish assembled "G" also looked this way? On the other hand in cars, which are still in service in Poland, only the squared taillamps are to see. EDIT: Finally a confirmation, in fact Polish assembled MB's also could have round taillamps - they are to see in period military magazine in "Jeż" version of GD 290. -- Last edit: 2017-02-03 20:44:27
