Reading through some somewhat legit sites including Daimler's own pages on these cars I come to the conclusion that the "I" in "W198 I" was added in retrospect after the Roadster W198 II came about. It makes more sense when you consider that according to the sources I've read the Roadster wasn't planned from the begining but later on when they decided to wrap up production of the Coupe due to slowing sales and US pressure for a roadster more powerfull than the 190SL. So probably W198=W198I.
