Not possible to do a "Shore A Durometer Test" on the Top RHS Mount, it was possible to test the LHS Transmission Mount & the Rear Mount & compare NEW with Old.
It was interesting to use a Digital Luggage Scale to Compare the New & Old Engine Mounts kg of applied force to have the mount move a comparable fixed distance.
The Old Top RHS Mount was not leaking but had more movement than expected.
The Old LHS Transmission Mount had small visible Tear.
The Old Rear Engine Mount had “visible small tears to both sides” that opened when flexed.

Fitted the Three Mounts in 45 minutes using a Garage Trolley Jack & hand tools, used Car Stands for support when under the car doing the rear mount, it is an easy job, (no 48V or compressed Air Impact Tools used).

########
Replacements were installed in the following order [1st] Front RHS is a Hydro Mount, [2nd] LHS Transmission Mount (take the Battery & support Bracket out), the Bolts were 95Nm, [3rd] Rear Mount.
Started the engine after each mount was changed & moved the Auto from Park to D to N to R to N to D & then back to park to observe the Fast-Idle Engine Movement & also to endeavour to observe the Fast Idle Vibration Change.
Cold Start Fast-Idle Vibration, nominal 90% vibration reduction occurred with the Front RHS change. The other 10% reduction occurred once the LHS Transmission Mount was Changed.

With all three Engine Mounts replaced:
The Squarking Noise from the Front RHS Mount is gone at Fast Idle when "the Engine Mount was Cold".
At “Fast Idle when Cold” the vibration transfer to the chassis has reduced.
With Driving, Vibration is definitely reduced at Op Temp Idle in Drive with Foot on Brake.

WIN!
