Thanks for the suggestions.
Duke, you are correct, the dead soldier is a 2002.
Not really much damage to the W210, but 3 of the seat belts don't work any longer.

Now - do I have an exhaust leak? The black suggests I do.

Is there a clamp, I may purchase, to replace the one that is rusted?

Do I need to take it all apart and insert a new exhaust gasket?

Would a muffler shop fix this without welding the muffler?

Finally took picture and found error

Seems the 'rattle' is a rusted exhaust connector. The weld I was speaking of was still holding.

So, no engine mounts needed. (The engine sits steady.)
