Probably that there was an oval, white sticker with "D" on the back of your car. This is the normal European country denomination, needed when crossing borders
There were indeed stickers, supposed to be attached to the right corner of the trunk (boot) lid, above the filler cap.
However, this was Germany/Mercedes in the sixties, remember - solid it must be
The factory mounted "D" sign was thus a metal plate, oval in shape. It was mounted centrally on the lower part of the rear body of the W113,
below the line between the (rear) chrome bumpers.
This info is from factory SA instruction 88/1, dated Feb 1966.
Update:Managed to find a photo with the metal "D" sign:
