123 241 3013 is the Mercedes Part Number for 300D W123 Engine/Motor Mounts
OE = Phoenix = Lemfoerder

Phoenix Makes them for Mercedes and they are Made in Turkey. Lemfoerder buys them and sand off the Mercedes Star. Lemfoerders sell in the $20-$30 range and closer to $20 if you are willing to sit at the computer and search the various Sellers. Also using the Mercedes Part Number is helpful.

Using 300D Motor Mounts on a 240D (w123 chassis)
Comment from Post #1 between the pictures:
“So after verifying that 300D mounts can be used on 240D cars, I ordered Lemforder mounts from Phil for $26 instead of $134 for OE. I just got them today. Found that they were made in Turkey.”
