Radiator anatomy

Can someone who knows cooling systems explain the various connections on this Mercedes 190E radiator that I'm thinking about using for my car;

On the radiator there are;
2 x 35mm pipe connections top and bottom which I think are coolant in/out.
1 x 21mm pipe connection which at a guess goes to an external expansion tank/filler.
2 x M16 connections, guessing again one for temperature switch for electric cooling fan and one for temperature sensor for temperature gauge.

If it ain't broken, fix it anyway (just because).

The 2 m16s are probably transmission oil coolers, an oil to engine coolant heat exchanger.

As said the 16 mm connections are for an automatic transmission cooler
