Jim
On the original cars, the short one was on the driver side and it had a spoiler on it, my second car came with them switched. Maybe he had them switched and he gave you the correct number but for the wrong side.
I have the original wiper arms on my car. I just replace the blades.
Anyway, he got what he asked for.
When switched they do not wipe the rain off as well as if they are on the correct sides.

 

thanks information is gold. jim

 

I think it depended on the mood of the German who put the car together or the robot. On some screws such as the ones on top of the grille were supposed to be hex head according to parts catalog but on some cars they put torx head screws. They also used different fasteners under the bumpers, sometimes push pins and other times a screw with a speed nut. Some cars they painted the rear wheel well coating and others they didn't etc.

Back to the wipers, the shorter one is Crossfire specific 193 part number and the longer one has an actual Mercedes part number.

 

Fasteners would be selected from the parts bin at the station where a particular part or parts were attached to the car, the assembler would use what was there. In some cases more than one part could be used and perhaps a different part was used. Cars are assembled according to a plan and not left to the whim of an assembler. Different years could have different plans and different parts used.
When it comes to painting a different robot setup or a different painter may lead to various patterns.
My brand new 2004 Crossfire was the best assembled car I ever had.
