Yep, '61-'68 W100s used the same axles as the W200s. The easiest way to get disc brakes is to swap in a complete axle from a '74-'93 W200. Some years are full time, some years vacuum actuated, etc., so do some research (I don't have my notes handy). I haven't really looked, but I doubt there's anything in the way of a disc brake conversion for the big knuckle front axles.
