I think the caps are available again, and they don't seem that they're as expensive as they used to be. At least, I see them for sale here and there. Mine is in pretty good shape, so I just cleaned it up and will see how it goes.
Next M189 challenge I have to deal with is an oil leak at the front of the engine. I suspect the hydraulic fan coupling, which is unique to M189s with AC and 600s. Its classic german over engineering. A feed of engine oil is controlled by a thermostat, which is used to drive the fan via a hydraulic coupling. With the radiator out of the way, it'll be pretty easy to dig into it.
