Or do the Ns on this engine start button look like open throttle plates.
Maybe I’m giving Mercedes too much creative credit but I like the idea a lot

Hard to say. A quick image search seems to suggest that connecting lines through the post is most common for a serif font stencil and through the bar is quite common for a sans font stencil (like this), so it might be deliberate or it might be that they just have a cheesy font.
To whit: I have no idea why the G in the font doesn’t have bridge lines, and if it were a real stencil, I’m quite sure it would - but they’ve got lines to the suspended fields on the A, P, O, and R just like a real stencil ...
The only real-world application I could see for a stencil that has equal volume cutouts (S and N) but only bridges the ones with sharp ends to reinforce them and not a huge suspended field like the G would be if the process was “fragile” or had a lot of burning in from the edge and the stencil was rigid . Like a lithography process or something.

Doesn’t mean it can’t be some designer having fun with it
