Correctly named, this is a Mercedes, having become the official name for the cars produced by the DMG (Daimler Motoren- Gesellschaft / Daimler Motors Company) in 1902, and with the star as official sign since 1910. (Gottfried Daimler, by the way, sold the rights for his surname's sole usage for cars, thus enabling a company in Coventry, England, to produce Daimlers since 1907). Mercedes-Benz became the new company's name only after the 1926 merger of the DMG with its competitor Benz & Co. For 1926 ff by only this company produced cars, the here used double name is the only correct one (may differ for AMG-something, McLaren-something, aso.).
