Yes, ALL SLK's are covered. Take a look at the backside of the tail light bucket, the new sockets for the brake lights should be black, and there should be small "bumps" embossed into the circuit strips where the contacts are made with the sockets.
The older type have blue or green sockets and the circuit strips are flat with no "bumps". The bumps give greater contact area for the socket tabs, and there may be a different plastic in the socket/bulb holder.
