For the block drain, yes it's like the ML320. It's on the right (passengers side) of the block. You need to get the right front wheel off and go at it with a long extension, inserting it between the frame rail and splash shield, with I believe it's a 6mm allen socket.

On the radiator, I'd recommend trying the drain, not the lower hose. Removing just the hose leaves a significant amount of coolant in the radiator. The drain is hard to see and also hard to operate. It's facing the front, on the right side of the radiator down in the corner. You can kind of see it through the one big gaping hole in the bumper in front of the right tire. You need to rotate the drain 1/4 turn and then pull forward on it, it will start draining out of a small extension tube on the side of the radiator.
