Well, from my experience with researching this matter, Mercedes changed the styling of the W140 in early 1996. If your 1996 model was built in late 1995, then it has a 2 tone bumper, but if it was built/delivered in early 1996, then it's bumper is the same color as the rest of the vehicle. If I had to guess, your Mercedes was manufactured sometime in late 1995. Check the info plate on the inside of the driver door....
