I know how you feel. When I first got my 85' 380SE, I was confused at the controls. I ended up buying a owners manual from a member here that had one in his wrecked 85' 380SE, which is the same owners manual that your car uses.
You may also want to search the "parts" site on these forums, or check e-bay. I am not sure what all "additional" switches are on your consold, but mine has some I am still unsure of. I know the window switches and the mirror switches. There is also a "wheel" type looking switch. I think it has something to do with the antenna reception? Other than that, I do not think I have anything else. On the center dash, I have the rear interior light switch, then the sunroof switch, then the hazard lamp switch, then what I think is the power antenna switch, then the rear window defrost switch.
On your car, the 500SEL, I think they have a few more switches there. Perhaps a couple are the heated seats?
It took me forever to figure out where my sunroof switch was. I was afraid to push too many buttons in the beginning, because I was unsure of what they all did.
Hope you are enjoying that car! Is it still doing well?

thanks!
