My question is why would MB want to turbo the 240D? I would think that a turboed version would use the same amount of fuel as a 300D if not more. The only reason I can think of is in commercial applications where there is not enough room for the 5 cylinder motor but more power was required.
That seems to be the purpose of the "Gurkha" (with a turbocharged OM616.95 engine) in India. Not sure if it was made in Germany or in India under license from Mercedes.
