[W126 Coupe] [w126 coupe] is it a Euro or a US ?

[Markus Meyer]

WDBCA is US, WDB126 is euro.  Anything could have happened on conversion to
US specs, including losing the euro lights.  Cloth seats also is typically a
sign of euro.  What year is it?  Pre 86 is most likely 500SEC, post most
likely 560SEC.
