1974 450SL -mechanical door lock problem

My mechanical door locks work well -from the inside of the car, at least. I cannot unlock either doors from the outside, using my key. It looks as if the key doesn't travel far enough do disengage them.) I'm thinking there must be some problem with adjustment of the two long arms that travel from the lock mechanism to the interior door locking lever? This problem is driving me a little batty.

The vacuum locks don't work, either, but I'm thinking that's a separate problem to be resolved AFTER the mechanical locking issue.
