Mercedes was using both types.
Here's the picture from one of the shop selling old Mercedes parts but I'm not MB-focused to tell which were used in exact models and years of manufacturing.
The connectors are modular which means the pins and sockets are the same so for the female connectors can be added as long the package holding the pins is having holes in 5 places.
The source of these are for example multi-pin connectors or sockets:
Pins as Kostal standard can be used separately (just with heat shrinking tubes) or on the 3D printed housings with no problems.
Some may notice the same standard is used for the torch connection in some E9s.
These are commonly used in BOSCH equipment in BMW ABS units till the middle of 90's (XX century), so acquiring the terminals/pins is not a challenge.
