Looking for trans lines, no luck... please help

My trans cooler lines are rotted. I'm not having much luck finding them however I did come across this site: 2005 E500 4matic parts . Not sure how literal these illustrations are but my lines connect to the front of the rad. on passenger side (pushing into rad towards rear of car as opposed to towards front of car in illustration).

The line on the driver side going along engine to trans. & both rubber hoses connected to lines going into rad are rotted badly. Additionally, my power steering line coming off the pump down and along driver side engine into assuming the rack also rotted. The only p/s line I find looks nothing like what's in my car. Can someone please guide me in right direction?? Checked FCP, ECS, Mercedes larts sites and no luck... please refer to pics

Why not ditch that rotten design and install a proper transmission cooler that completely bypasses the radiator. It's not hard or expensive and you'll never risk mixing coolant with ATF.
