You can clearly see the rear bell housing bolt on mounting bracket. Some rear mounts are actually on the transmission. If the mounts were cast with the block you'd most likely be missing a chunk of engine block. If the packing gland is cast into the hull/stern tube as many space limited shaft seals are, with little to no flexible hose then you'd have some serious repairs.
To go a step further I inspected my mounts today and found them to be stamped steel, and bolted to the engine in front and bell housing in the rear, they are located just forward of the Gear.
I believe the OP has a ZF gear, and adapter plate as mentioned by Engine Man and its bolted to the bell housing.
Seems the broken mount can be replaced with some patience.
