Did anyone else notice that the new C-class steering wheel doesn't have the new controls and 3-spoke design I've seen in other pics?

The three-spoke design is for the C55 and a few other models - unclear right now, but likely also the Sport models and the coupe.

See the TechAutos article on the updated C-Class - here - the interior pic there is not a C55 (doesn't have the AMG gauges), but likely a Sport model - it has the three-spoke design. The normal four-spoke one is for the non-Sport sedans/wagons.
