Definitely it is an advantage of Niemoeller that they provide original PN (outdated sometimes, but it is help). SLS is better at drawings. Niemoeller have MB graphics with a lot of parts not shown. SLS have detailed drawings with early\late versins shown etc.
In this particular example:
- in EPC the seal on speedo shaft comes in repair kit only as per the picture; there are part numbers for a couple of seals that are not on the picture - but you need to know what you are looking for
- without more detailed description it is difficult to pin-point the part (e.g. manual or automatic)
- in Niemoeller it is not on the picture either - you knew what you were looking for, so you found it
- in both Niemoeller and EPC I often just scroll through the part list; in EPC you have the parts tat are not on drawing next to the components they belong to that are shown on drawings
