What am I missing here (exhaust headpipe hanger)?

Thanks for the reply, Ian.

The fitting on the transmission is present and accounted for. It's whatever bolts to the two bolt plate on the headpipe, connecting the headpipe and trans bracket.

I agree it seems to be not essential. I did note while searching for the part, that IPD suggests this may contribute to an annoying vibration or rattle at idle. It's in the ad copy for the trans bracket (https://www.ipdusa.com/products/9611/Headpipe-Bracket-700-900-Genuine-Volvo-1357917-120932). I happen to have just such an annoying rattle at idle - particularly when car is cold. Ensuring all the bits of the exhaust are intact seems like a good first step in trying to rectify the rattle (I've done nothing else about that yet).
