Yes, the Mercedes-Benz SL is a two-seat roadster and all generations were fitted with a glove box on the passenger side of the dashboard as standard. It is a genuine part you can source from a breaker.
No — the R107 (1971–1989), R129 (1989–2001), R230 (2001–2011), and R231 (2012–2022) are entirely distinct generations with different dashboards, so glove boxes do not interchange across these boundaries. You must source a glove box from the correct generation for your car; confirm the exact year range of the donor vehicle with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
The R230 received a facelift in 2008 that brought interior trim revisions, and there may be differences in the glove box surround or finish between pre-facelift (2001–2008) and post-facelift (2008–2011) cars. Whether the box itself physically interchanges across that 2008 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as fitment at that level of detail is not guaranteed.
Engine and powertrain do not affect glove box fitment, so the basic unit is generally shared across the range within a generation regardless of whether your car is an SL350, SL500, SL55, or SL63 AMG. However, higher AMG or premium trims may have different interior finishes — such as carbon fibre, wood, or piano-black trim on or around the glove box — so make sure the colour and finish of any used part matches your car's interior before buying.
The R231 generation ran from 2012 to 2022, so a 2012 and a 2014 are both within the same generation and the glove box is likely to be compatible. That said, always confirm with the breaker using your registration and the donor car's details, as minor running changes during a production run can occasionally affect trim-side fitment.
The Mercedes-Benz SL was produced exclusively as a two-seat roadster throughout its production history, so there is no alternative body style to worry about — all SL glove boxes within a given generation come from the same car. Just match the generation and interior finish as described above and confirm with the breaker against your registration.
