There's one such vehicle currently for sale if I'm not mistaking? In that advertisement description the W111 denomination is missing. So I'll give it a go:

The 200 D then? (from the picture it's impossible to determine which of the available 4 variants it is (200, 200 D, 230 or 230 S))

As Alfa_Japan stated correctly, the official name was Mercedes-Benz 200 D Universal, not Break.

Some pictures I took back in 1984:

To be honest, I saw the registration papers of the Italian car of my puzzle. There was no more designation to find, than only 'Mercedes 200D'. I used the term 'Break' only as a description for the body-version. You may be right, that this could lead to confusion, ... I think, it would be better to use 'estate car' than 'Break'.... but I cannot use the common Mercedes-Universal-title, if this isn't part of the car's official paperwork.
