This knob? Oil lubrication port.  Rotate knob and it exposes hole. Add a couple of drops of light oil in it to lubricate distributor.

Ok, since Bosch website does not work, I went like this:

Engine for 280SE = 130980 engine (our Wiki)

For 130980:

distributor PN is A 002 158 38 01
cap PN A 000 158 25 02 replaced with A 000 158 53 02   BOSCH 1235522060
rotor PN A 000 158 20 31  BOSCH 1234332088

If my logic is correct, this is what I found. I could not cross-reference Bosch PN of the distributor with Mercedes part number.
