Can someone explain the difference between these two cruise controls?

I can only afford a used MK8 and I'm doing plenty of research before buying one. When looking at some, I've seen different types of cruise control buttons. I'm aware Adaptive cruise control has a button on the left which sets the distance between the car in front. But is anyone able to explain the difference between these? What does the top right button do?

I've tried looking at manuals online but these online manuals just aren't as good as the paper ones!

    The top right button with a speedo symbol is actually cruise control.

    The one with only ‘lim’ is only a speed limiter and not cruise control. It’ll only stop you going over a set speed and you’ll have to keep your foot on the accelerator.

    Ahh! I must have misunderstood. I thought they all came with Cruise Control as standard.
