Do I have ESP (Electronic Stability Program)?

let alone duplicates of them)

NZ Benz, ADS, is Adaptive Damping System != ESP;

I thought the Adaptive damping system was a form of ESP?

If you do not have this button, you have the ETS system.
Remember, ETS behaves much like ASR, but without the trottle
limiter...

I thought ESP was on later models and it controls ASR together with ABS, so it controls power/breaking to each wheel. and i though this came around later on like 1997

Best option to tell if your car has it is to pop you VIN number to that russian decoding website and it will tell you what options your car has....

I believe ASD was offered on lower HP cars. I've a 92 diesel euro 300TD wagon that has it, it was rare to have it in north america. It greatly improves the car's traction in snow by locking up the diff thus providing power to both wheels on slippage.
