I wasn't aware Mercedes piloted 4matic on the W126. Perhaps the cars they were showing just had ASR?

pioneers in a lot of areas.I recall reading a 1992 copy of wheels magazine somewhere where things like the Nissan Pulsar of the day didn't receive ABS till the fourth model generation at the other end of the extreme while Mercedes had it all along INITIALLY optional but later standard.Mercedes invented such a thing of which other manufacturers would follow.I would always when I go car shopping insist of checking how many airbags a car has plus any abs/ebd/aeb style systems and if it did or didn't meet the requirements on a budget.now almost every car even cheap runabouts has a lot of safety stuff the world's oldest car maker invented.
