Eric,
I do not believe that the front shock covers were original equipment on a '71. They were not original equipment on my '70.
Doesn't really answer your question though - sorry.

Regards,
Stan

I was looking for this very item not so long ago. I don't have a p/n, but http://millermbz.com has these covers for $16 apiece.

1-866-MBCLASSIC has been a good p/n resource for me. Or email'em through this link.

I think you mean the Subframe Mount Covers
part # 110 683 00 01

 but your car did not have them.. they were eliminated at end of 250sl production..

 Typo on above
Correction:
 Part # should read
 110 683 00 10..
 Also, if adding these , they require 4 part# 001 988 44 78 mounting clips for securing to frame rails [2 per side]...

At a recent M-B show one of the judges was actually making deductions for early cars that had the covers and late cars that didn't!  When we pointed out that they had this backwards, it was decided that since all cars ended up receiving a deduction and cancelled each other out, all the relative rankings would have been the same so the scores would stand...

Yeah,
 Some Judges are like Referees.. the rules get made up by the guys that don't play the game...
