Default Air Box Mounting Grommets Missing

In the past year that I've owned a 2006 Limited, I noted that putting the standard Chrysler airbox back in place was sort of hit and miss, with the airbox just sort of sitting on the engine with no confirming "snap in" effect when pressing it in place. I took a really close look at this today and noted that the 4 rubber grommets that should be mounted to the engine are completely missing (the threaded holes are in the block, but nothing is there) and the air box is floating on the point where it attaches to the cool air inlet and a small tension clip at the front of the airbox. The four grommets and fasteners are completely gone as if removed by a prior owner.

So I'm on a search for these grommets and the needed fasteners. Anyone have a part number or a vendor link? I can't seem to find the item at the usual list of MB parts vendors. Thanks in advance for any help.

I guess my car's prior owner might have had an aftermarket cold air induction system in place and then converted it back to stock when he sold it. He never put these mounting points back on and the air cleaner housing just sorts of floats on top of the engine.
