I 've seen this flap on the early W115, 240D engines, but didn't know the W190 engine used them.

The "spingie feeling" I sometimes get with my 85 feels like weak clutch disc springs. Good luck
Yes, the 201 did have the butterfly. I discovered it when a mechanic and I tried to find out why my '84 190D, 2.2L, 5-spd was driving like a real dog after all the work completed - valve job, new clutch. The butterfly was one of those things not reconnected and we had to fashion a new linkage for it. Also, my non-working cruise control actuator never made it back into the engine compartment, which was fine by me, but had nothing to do with it's poor performance. However, I would try to totally disconnect yours, in case that is a problem. Sometimes, when I use it on my 300D, it will also cause that same jerking motion, even though I have an auto tranny.
