R230 2002 jacking points
I know that you need to buy an adapter which goes to sides to jack it up, but is there a safe point under car rear?

You can use the differential as a jacking point to lift the rear of the car.
Also, there's a round pad about 4"/100mm inboard at each of the side jacking points.
For the sockets that are used with the factory jack, I bought a big bolt. Works fine. Pretty sure it's .75"/19mm in diameter by 10"/250mm long, but I'm not absolutely positive. I'll measure it when I get home this evening.
