If the W111 is similar to the sedans, there should be a removable panel in the right front wheel well that will allow access to the radio antenna.
If your car says "automatic" on the trunk, there is a high likelihood that is is a European, as opposed to a U.S. version of the vehicle.
I have not seen the "automatic" badge on an off-line convertible, but have seen it on a number of European W113 SLs. The 3.5 coupe/cab was available with a four speed manual in Europe, but came only in an "auto" for U.S. delivery.
The chassis will typically have a few extra "holes" that are plugged; this arises from the need to make specific modifications to the chassis set-up for different markets, e.g. right hand drive, etc.
Good luck on your project.
