Late Hirschmann antenna mast and grommet part numbers?

The antenna on my 1994 E500 (VIN C13XXX so it has the late "ball" type antenna) is corroded and the grommet is cracked, so I'd like to replace them both. Motor works fine, it just struggles under the recalcitrance of the mast. Just want to confirm that the correct part numbers are as follows please:
1248270898 (grommet, $2 at RM European)
1408270001 (Hirschmann mast, $69.57 at RM European)

Thanks in advance.

Correct - at the time I took those photos, buying a new mast was a poor investment, as complete brand-new antenna assemblies were available for ~$175. Unfortunately those have mostly vanished and we're now stuck trying to repair old antennas. The mast is indeed 140-827-00-01 for USA-spec cars, make sure to only buy OE MB or OEM Hirschmann if you want it to last another 20 years.

Can you advice me please -
I have a non telescope black antenna ready for phone and wanted to switch to telescope one.
Will it be an easy upgrade?
I was thinking of buying this one new: B66828099

And this kit to install it (see image attached), right?

And i will need a metallic sticker to attach inside wheel arch?
