They were for when your air suspension blew out. One air bladder cracking and the entire system went down. As in down to the ground.
So the rubber blocks were to be placed between the axles, or A-frames, as necessary to keep the car off the ground during towing.
So the solution to this problem exists. I no longer have the car or the blocks but some nosing around on the M-100 board might turn up some info on this process.
And on a side note... The 6.3 has no hydrocompensator. All the leveling and springing is done through the sensing valves that control the air suspension.

I think I remember hearing/watching about those in one of **************'s YouTube videos. It's good that they plan ahead with that stuff, but a damn shame that they knew it would go bad. Maybe it's just a testament to how MB of the era were made to be rebuilt like airplanes, not throwaway vehicles like so many modern cars.
Since you can clearly see this car is an SE, I'm sure you know it doesn't have the 300sel suspension. I'd like to have a good one some day, but...
