Yes, I've seen that kind of "captured" mount-- and yes, that could have been used here, if there were more space, maybe. Kinda tight as it is.
Mike, thanks for the tip; I'm planning to open up that section on the floor again when I have other stuff apart so I can get some real grease in there.
Axle, hope you get the picture, words are difficult at times to describe a situation... The actual mounting lugs (L-shaped 1/4" steel plates with a 9mm hole in them) on the frame and the engine are all intact, it was just the metal disc & stud on the insulator/isolator/mount that separated from the rubber part on each of the four mounts.
Not sure about the rear ones yet, but I was able to jack the engine up just high enough to get the front ones out (and, I hope, to re-install the new ones). I'm still hoping I can get away with NOT having to literally pull the engine....
Here's my crude drawing of the way things go together; there are four such arrangements, two at the front and another two at the rear of the engine--
