Default How to identify PSM and traction control in 99-2000 996's - car shopping!

I'm starting to look for a less expensive, mechanically solid 1999-2000 donor car for my H class 996 club race project. I have the original brochures on both years, and they state that in both years, psm is optional on the C2. The '99 one says traction control is optional on C2, the 2000 doesn't mention traction control. I don't want psm or traction control, and want to know how to identify a car that has it. I looked in the brochure to see what the button might look like, but couldn't find it. Any suggestions on what to look for?

Thanks!

Might want to include looking for the LSD option, typically listed like this for '99s:

220 Locking differential
222 Traction control
224 Automatic Limited Slip Diff

99's only had traction control, PSM was introduced in late 2000
