juggster,
one of the plates i mentioned with some of the codes is in the engine bay on the driver side. you can't miss it. it's an embossed rectangular plate with a series of numbers on it. if my memory serves me, it should indicate your hardtop color (040 = black) as well as your body color. (i'm not positive it shows hardtop color... )
the data card is a slip of paper with all the option codes on it to show exactly how your car was delivered from the factory. if you have the original paperwork & manuals, there's a chance you still have it. it's frequently on a pink slip of paper. otherwise, you can still request them from daimler-chrysler.
and yes, many of the cars had thin whitewalls back in the day, but most people have since converted to all-black. that should also be indicated on the data card.
