Question about headlamp reflektor

Hello,
I have a question about the reflektor (the big one) on this picture.
For me it seems that this is not the one for a 500E (European spec) The big reflektor differs for a 500E differs from normal W124's ?

I can't confirm whether this is the correct reflector for an E500E - others on this forum may be able to confirm or otherwise.

However, you are right that the "standard" W124 reflector differs from that for an E500E. This is because on an E500E, the right-hand reflector (as you are looking at the picture you have posted) is a spot/long-range/driving lamp, whereas on a "standard" W 124 this is the fog lamp. On an E500E, the fog lamps are situated each side of the lower front bumper air-dam.
 
The H4 reflector should be the same as standard 124.

The H3 reflector is unique to the 036, as r44raven explained above.

In the photo, the H3 looks correct. I can't tell what the H4 reflector is but it seems normal to me, as viewed through plastic wrap?
