Do we actually benefit from having the .040 and .042 suffixes?? Plain W121 seems enough to me, with Roadster and Hardtop as added info if and when individual entries provide clear indications.
Sometimes we over-complicate codes without achieving anything useful.

In my opinion no we don't need any of these codes unless totally necessary.

Currently we apply [W121.010] for the 190 saloon and [W121.110] for the diesel version, so it would appear odd if we were to swap the code for a simple solitary [W121] for the roadster and hardtop.

To me generic codes are better than too-specific ones, as I already said for other vehicles.
same for Mercedes, people will search for W121 if they want that model, and then may miss all these specific ones. If one wants just a body style, there is a filter for that. And I'm not sure that having a way to filter on engine type is useful.
A solution would be two codes : a "generation" code for the generic code and then use the chassis field for the specific ones. But I don't know if it is good to add even more info or if it makes more difficult to maintain.
