Is #4 the thumb screws that hold down the carpet covered boards in the back seat area of a W113?

Good guess, but my recollection is that those thumb screws aren't internally threaded all the way through to the top. In other words, I think the part for the carpet cover is flat on top, not showing an internal thread.

On first look, I thought the #4 knobs were for that too, but the knobs/screws holding down the parcel shelves are male

Good call. I had forgotten that. They are male.

12 is the early heat levers for 111 Sedans. They are plastic in later models for impact protection.
10 is for later model 111 sedans.

#19 could be the knobs that clamp the bulb holder to the front of the central instrument cluster.

Further to Alfred's note above, also for connecting the tach, speedo and clock to their rear mounting brackets?

#1 are press-in grease fittings, 2 per door (1 per hinge). Be careful mine were screw-in and instantly broke when I tried to remove them because they were plugged and wouldn't accept grease. I had to drill them out and press in the ones you call #1. By the way, if you order the original screw-in type by part number from Mercedes, you will still get the press-in version and have to rework your door hinges for them to work - don't bother to ask me how I know.

#16 - some of them look like Becker radio knobs - TR/slim face version
#18 - some look like Becker radio high/low switch, again TR/slim face version

12 is early 190SL levers. Probably used on sedans from the same era.
-
#8 you also used to see the longish odo knobs in a flexible material
-
#13 look like the knobs for the under dash Frigiking Unit

In my earlier post, I misidentified the wiper shaft caps (#1) as grease fittings. A closer look reveals that there is no hole or grease gun cone. Sorry.
