Unless your system is a bit overfull and your overflow tank fills right up, it's hard to tell exactly from that.

You really need to open the radiator drain and drain a bit out into a container and look. The drain is on the driver's side bottom of the rad... the plug has an X-pattern head so you will need a wide flat screwdriver to open it.

If you don't know how long its been in there, you could do worse than do a drain, flush and refill in any case. You can either use Mercedes AF or Zerex G-05.
