Mercedes numbering system names the weight first and the power second, so a 408 would be circa 4t MAM and 80hp.
Can't find actual figures at the moment,but most were slightly over-rated by 100kg for whatever reason and the 408 was probably 3.6t MAM. Easily downplated to be a camper.
The 508d was the largest size Düdo you could have downplated. It'll be right on the limit when done, too much baggage and it could be over.
It is still an offence to drive the vehicle overweight of 3.5t if your license only allows up to 3.5t. regardless of what many say. There is no allowance to drive campers that weigh more than your license allows.
Ask me how I know...

Edit, pics of the 408?
May be easier to text/WhatsApp than use the substandard forum uploader.
I may have mentioned before that it's completely useless for most people.
