WANTED Washer Tank Snap-On Cover 126 869 06 08

Sorry, should have clarified - it's not the actual cap, but the sleeve around it (see attached picture). The discolored one is the old, correct shape and the new one is the incorrect shape that I was sent by CARID despite the fact that they advertise with a picture of the correct part.
Bunch of places (Pelican Parts, MB) outright canceled the order on me for that PN....

126-869-06-08 is not the screw-on lid, it's the snap-on cover to the reservoir which accepts the screw-on lid. Photo below. Pretty sure it's NLA but the W210 version is similar enough that I think it will work, or at least Gerry posted photos indicating it should? MBCC is showing temp NLA but that usually means it's not coming back.
123-869-01-72 is the screw-on lid, but I'm not sure if that is NLA or not...

yeah, I edited my post to show what part I mean and you're right, that thing shows NLA. Car is still at Steve Geyer's shop and he can't really put the tank back on without this part, so I was hoping someone might have one lying around so I don't have to have the brand new washer tank installed only to then redo it once I get a new cover.
Can one of the @xfadmin please change the title of the post to "washer tank snap-on cover 126 869 06 08?

Thanks Jeff - looking for a new one.
See post #49 at the link below. That may be a stop-gap solution until you can locate a NOS cap (for ±€5k). 
HOW-TO: Replace Windshield Washer Reservoir | "HOW-TO" Tutorial Articles
When you open up your engine you will note the three reservoir tanks on the left side of the engine. SLS, Coolant expansion, and the Windshield washer reservoir tank. After 20 years on most cars these items are severely discolored and dirty. Unless you have a low mileage garage collectable...

Thank you @gsxr! After your initial post I found Gerry's thread and have ordered three of those caps. In the meantime I will see if it can find the original part before the Steve wraps up working on my car.......it's so silly, it's a $4 part and totally throwing a spanner in the worksSee post #49 at the link below.
