The OM606 engine in the 1995 W124 chassis uses a mechanical cable throttle similar to the OM602/3 engines in earlier models. Mercedes didn't go to fly-by-wire on the OM606 until the 1996 E300D. The 1995 E300D may still have the older cruise amplifier.

OTOH, the FSM (CD-ROM version) shows N4/1 "Electronic accelerator/cruise control module" as being in the compartment behind the battery. I'm concerned that this may apply to gassers only but there's no note either way in the manual. The list of schematics lists cruise control only for engine 104 and 119, both of which are gassers. The schematic for the OM606 engine lists only engine parts and doesn't include the cruise control. This engine also does not have an electronic accelerator.

The "Model Year 1995 (USA) Model 124.131 Introduction into service" manual doesn't mention cruise control at all, it's pretty much confined to describing the new OM606 engine.

Maybe the OP could pop off the driver's under-dash panel and look? I've run out of places to look!
