Have the same question regarding my tool kit.  What is original and what am I missing? The larger darker channel locks are not original to the car.  The tools that I may be missing are they hard to find?  Have gone through this site and may have missed the subject but thinking it would be nice if someone would add photo's of original tools and the original bags.

New to the Pagoda Group so not sure if I should make this a stand alone post or just reply to this same subject older post.

Thanks

By my not educated eye, for late tool kit:
- not part of original set: oil drain plug wrench, black channel pliers
- missing: two spanners (8/10 and 11/13), fuse box (clear plastic, Mercedes star marked, no red fuses, two short fat fuses), fuse pliers without balls

Probably the wheel alignment tool is not necessary in the late set. If it is there, it goes to spare wheel cover.

Channel pliers are ok as long as they do have the star, but do not have 129 number.

Good to study it here: https://www.sl113.org/wiki/Accessories/Toolkit

Helpful to go through search function and review numerous posts on this topic.
