For sure it has the 1968 onwards grille, but after that it becomes a little bit more tricky.

I believe this is a W 108 (or the less likely W 109) partly because it has the air intake (close to the windscreen) divided into six partitions http://www.misterw.com/Mercedes/Mercedes03.jpg while the W 111/W 112 (Cupés and Convertibles) has only three partitions http://www.w111.se/Bilder/Full%20storlek/MB280SE-Biskopskulla-ka.gif , and partly because of the "oval" instrument housing Link to "www.peachparts.com" instead of the more "round" corners on the W 111/W 112 Coupés and Convertibles Link to "www.benzworld.org" .

Thank you for the thumb!
It's rather difficult to see it's a hearse when looking at nothing but the grille :p

According to Link to "www.m-100.cc" a company called Hadleys based in Sidney built at least one hearse based on a W 108 280 SE 3.5.
As Sidney is the capital in New South Wales (which I presume the NSW on the licence plate is an abbreviation for) I find Hadley's (founded in 1965) not entirely unlikely http://www.hadleyconversions.com.au/history.htm .
