I have been offered a LSD part number 1243512501 off an R129 also has these numbers on it GGG40 481. 4172 WITH FINAL DRIVE OF 3.27
Would it be any good to go on a 500E
That part number is not for an LSD. It is for a differential housing. And, it is for a 185mm housing, which is useless on a 500E. It will not fit, and it is smaller/weaker.
If you want LSD, buy the proper Quaife or Wavetrac and have it installed in your 500E. This has been covered in detail in the forum in old threads.
