Will this brake reservoir fit?

I'm trying to find a OEM, or reproduction brake fluid reservoir for my 73 GTV.

I found this 1968-1973 Mercedes Benz 220 - ATE Brake Reservoir But i'm not quite sure it will work. Any experience, or source of a reservoir?

The on currently on my vehicle looks to be a DBC?

Not conclusive, but on this page BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR - VERS. II there is a picture of a replacement vs an original reservoir. The replacement looks like the Merc part, and the original looks like what you find in the 115 cars.

Offhand, the Mercedes piece looks to me to have too much distance between the reservoir nipples to fit on a 115 MC. Just a guess though.

Thanks, that looks good enough.
