i believe in the late 70s airbags became standard in all mercedes benzs. so sence your car cant be older than 89' it will have airbags. juwst the passanger one will be an option.

That's not quite right. In Germany all SL (R129)cars from model year 1993 on were equipped with airbags (driver and passenger). All cars from model year 1996 on had 4 airbags (additional side airbags).
The first models could be ordered without any airbag, with drivers' airbag or with both driver and passenger airbag.
It depends on what the first owner ordered.
