I thought about the lack of tire marks and here's my guess: that's a front wheel drive minivan and because the impact was with the MB's bumper below the van's, it lofted the van upwards, minimizing tiremarks made by the front wheels and pivoting it on the left rear wheel (it looks to me like it is sitting sideways in the driveway) which was locked by the parking brake. The right rear probably displays the most movement.
A square hit on level ground by the MB would have definitely left skid marks on all four van tires.
