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.

#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.

12 is early 190SL levers. Probably used on sedans from the same era.

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.
