Not a chance. The 117.964, a 5.0, as you pointed out was never ok'd for US production. ACC was available to buyers of euro spec cars as an option, albeit an expensive choice. This a pic, borrowed from a member, of an '85 500SL euro, equipped with ACC, and plenty of AMG goodies....
That Russian VIN decoder is not the last word in VIN accuracy. I'd like to see what the Classic Center has to say, andydunn2. You can email them with proof of ownership for an MB decode of the VIN.
