I know this is an old topic but I am just getting around the same issue : looking at your pictures , your car , like mine , is a 6,0 L engine
These cars have specific engine and transmissions mounts which are shown in the cadillac  1980 service information manual ( see picture attached)
For an unknown reasons , these specific mounts are not listed in the GM chassis and body part catalog ( I am using the 1976-80 version) were only the mounts for the 5,7L ( gas or diesel) engines are mentioned
I have ordered several time mounts ( both from cadillac dealers and " specialists" )and keep getting the wrong parts...I now know why : the proper mounts do not seem to exist in GM own part catalog
I have ended up getting a different silent block that fits the transmission (  Westar EM2363 fits both left and right sides ) but am still looking for an alternative for the front ( engine mounts)
Any suggestion would be much appreciated

Are yours missing?  If not there are places that rebuild them.  There seems to be getting to be more and more that are not made so business has to be good for those places.   
73 Eldo convert w/FiTech EFI, over 30 years of ownership and counting
Somewhat recently deceased daily drivers, 80 Eldo Diesel & 90 CDV
And other assorted stuff I keep buying for some reason
