...
Rears tend to be a bit more complex because of the handbrake mechanism(Omegas are just old with their separate drums) and  .....

It's not something I've really looked at, but the rear brakes of my 07 R Class were a similar set up to the Omega ie disc/drum.

ML is a silly electric thing though that acts on the disc

At least I have the option of using it or not .... from what I can tell, a lot of newish cars apply it when you stop whether you want it or not.

I wouldn't know. The corsa didn't apply it on it's own.
