Can anyone decode each set of digits?

670 _____?   408 _____?  6 ______?
113042 10 (understood)   2 ______?
00042 ______?   00472 ______?

There is a comprehensive guide to the codes in the technical manual on this site

https://www.sl113.org/wiki/DataCard/Start
https://www.sl113.org/wiki/DataCard/BodyandPaintNumberPlate

Should find everything in there!

Correct.

670 _____?   408 _____?  6 ______?
113042 10 (understood)   2 ______?
00042 ______?   00472 ______?

670: body color: light ivory
408 hardtop color: Havanna brown
6 - hardtop mounted (and softtop in softtop box/compartment)
113042 - means this is a 230 SL

10 - means lefthand drive (LHD) and manual gear box

2 - means European delivery - Germany

00042 - production number (within the workshift which actually 'fabricated' the car)

00472 - body number

Try getting the datacard (copy) from Mercedes-Benz, expensive but valuable for accurate restoration;
you'll find all those numbers there on the datacard again - and others.
