No, it was optional and would show up on the options code listing. The white car has 220 on the options code sticker, which is the "Locking Differential 40%". I've had five 996s, I think two of them were 1999s. None of them had an LSD, it is relatively rare.
Correct on the cable throttle though. My favorite 996 is a 1999 with the 3.4. I like the linear response of the cable throttle and the 3.4 is a very rev-happy and flexible motor. The 3.6 has more torque, but I find that it has much less character. I also think many of the stability and comfort improvements in 2002 made the car feel less nimble.
