OK, I got the starter off, and yes those were the starter mounting bolts. Dang Haynes manual. I had to remove all the hoses from the crossover tube, disconnect the thermostat and move it away, disconnect electrical to the coolant sensor, and the electrical harness that runs UNDER the starter. Finally a wrench fit in there. What a PITA.
Now I can get the starter tested. If the starter is good, that's bad news, because it means my engine siezed for absolutely no good reason at 82,000 miles.
