I've had a few Mercs that have had sealed for life gearboxes with no dipstick, but Merc did at least fit dipstick tubes as standard and would supply to trade dipsticks as they were listed as 'special tools'
The hardest part I would guess is to route the tube where it was easily accessible from the engine bay
