You have the correct part number for the right hand drive dash.  The part number for left hand drive dash is 116-680-37-87.  :)

Whats the difference between both?

They're pretty much mirrored.

The RHD dash has the instrument cluster on the right, glove box on the left. LHD is the other way.
No other bigger differences, except that apparently the RHD dashes had speakers at the bottom until W116 production ceased, unlike the LHD dashes, which switched to speakers up-top mid-1975.

That's what I thought, because I have 2 dash cluster for my 116, 1 left hand drive with miles per and the original for RHD, both fit and there is no difference, I only asked because he wanted the the dash number, and anyone will do.
