Certainly sounds like it's an aftermarket tint. Easy way to tell... look at the rear screen, if you can see the orange defrost lines between the glass and tint film then it's not factory.

Not sure whether that helps you or not!
That's what I've got...



but note that the light blue tint on the twin pane is Twin-pane heat and UV insulating glass, with additional reflective coating on outer pane to reduce interior heat build-up, a £360 optional extra on everything apart from W12 and S8.

Same thing as you see on some decent spec'd S-Classes where it looks like it has an almost opaque dark blue mirrored tint.
