It would take a bit of research to get a complete and precise answer, but generally speaking, most MB chassis during the 80s and up to about model year 1995 had an OVP, although it seems to have been more common on 6-cylinder motors than on V8s. I don't know its usage on pre-80s cars, but probably not, inasmuch as the electronics on earlier chassis were simpler (no computers), and the OVP is there basically to protect some expensive, sensitive control units. Maybe a professional tech can give a more complete answer.
