Just bought a 1972 350 SL, and its missing two of the hub caps.
Does anyone know if the hubcaps used on the sedans for this
era are the same?

There's more than one old hubcap, but 107 and 108 wheels
and the huncaps ARE interchangable.

Keep in mind a 107 is really a 123 with the back door welded shut
and the roof cut off.

Actually, a 107 is a 114 body. Uses the same front and rear subframes.
123 front subframe is welded to the frame.
