Engine AC Compressor 1998 U 270

Hello forum! I have a problem with my engine AC. The preowner tried to fix the ac with a german ac compressor. Can anybody tell me which compressor was originally installed in my 1998 U 270?

I've got an early 1998 U270 with a C8.3. Can't read the data plate but I've included a picture.

Very likely a Sanden 508.  Cheap and plentiful - I have seen them for around $100.  Choose the right pulley.
