ALL the originals were Bakelite .
Some of the newer and rebuilt ones are aluminum bodied .
An aluminum body rebuilt is $250 from Frank , the guy I mentioned in my older posts as I taught myself the wretched Klima I system .
I have an " Unwired Tools Digital Servo Kit " (the $600 one) too , un installed ~ I took it off a W-116 before I got mad & dug in my heels & decided to make the Evil Servo work... =8-) .
Once the Coupe is gone , I'll sell it .
My bet is your radiator is clogged , mix up some Citric Acid Dilute Solution & fill it , allow to soak a few days , flush it out ~ like new again .

Cheap Klima I Servo
The one on the '79SD is the plastic one. Can't see where leaks are, etc
but if you recall the car overheating and blowing a head gasket is why I
got it cheap. Fixing the head now but still haven't addressed the
underlying problem of why it overheated in the first place. This will be
my daily driver and while it's torn apart, I had the starter rebuilt,
rebuilt the turbo myself, the head is at the shop, the radiator is at
the shop, have a new water pump and getting a rebuild kit for the vacuum
pump. Figure this should pretty much take care of the basic mechanicals
for a while.
On the servo, not too sure if I want to bite the bullet and pick up that
kit for $600 that does away with the servo altogether or have the
existing servo rebuilt by that cat (Chrysler servo expert who's name
escapes me at present). IIRC the price was about the same for both and
frankly I look at the servo and my eyeballs spin.
