Do all w211's have the Valeo Radiator?

[SL300-24]

Having read the posts on the problem on W211's regarding the coolant entering and ruining the autobox's on these models, I went to find the makers name on the radiator on my '03 E320 CDI.
The only name that I could see was 'Behr'. I was therefore wondering if I have escaped the problem and have a radiator manufactured by a different company.
Does anyone know please? This label was on the lower front rad (oil or transmission?) cooler. I could not get to the main rad without removing cowlings etc. but am I right to think that they are connected?

Thanks

As far as I am aware problems relating to this issue are very specific. Mercedes-Benz state htat it effects vehicles prior to 09/03?? I am NOT saying that

There was a long thread on one of the US forums a while back, and I seem to remember that this problem was restricted to cars with the Valeo radiator. When a get a moment I will see if I can locate it.

Edit: Well obviously overlaps with other threads...but then I don't read every single one!
