Is a conditional LPR/Greencard classed as National ID card for travel?

I want to know how best to answer the ESTA question:

Have you ever been issued a passport or national identity card for travel by another country?

Different sites I read say different things regarding a permanent and conditional LPR Card classifications. So I am a little confused.

I once had a conditional LPR/Greencard. It expired after I left the USA over 2 years ago and I did not renew it. So is a conditional LPR/greencard classed as national ID for travel?

edited: corrected terminology of 'temporary' LPR to 'conditional' LPR where applicable.

My understanding is that this is intended to cover citizens' IDs like those issued by some EU countries, so you don't need to enter your old green card. But it won't hurt anything if you do.
