When the EH-101 was originally designed the tail rotor was very much like the S-56 and had dampers. Looking at a close-up of the EH-101 tail rotor it seems that the design has evolved and there are no dampers. I would assume that lead and lag is reacted by the blades and they bend in plane.
Agusta on occasion would adapt a design from their license partners or from other programs. On the first Agusta 101 the fuselage looked like a Super Frelon and the rotorhead was pure French.
Sorry for the confusion.
