It might be gridding the insides on turns. As you know the alignment is done when wheels are straight. Do you hear any gridding noise the turning?

I have never seen an all wheel drive SUV with different size tires on the front and back. The tire sizes you state are on the ml have different diameters/radius' not alot of difference but a differance none the less
Best way to check what tires are recommended is to look at the tire/rim information in the door jam, If you bought the vehicle used maybe a previous owner threw on a mis-matched set of tires just to sell it.

255/50/19= 29.04 in. diameter
285/45/19= 29.10 in. diameter
different tire manufacturers sizes may very

correction,
265/50/19= 29.43 in diameter
285/45/19= 29.10 in. diameter
and that is even worse then numbers above, and in my opinion way out of spec for an AWD vehicle

The tire sizes you say you have on your car are not the recommended size from the MB web site you linked to, unless it was a typo.
And you are correct, if I have never seen it, it doesn't mean it isn't possible
and for that matter, don't believe everything you read either.
I would be looking at tire replacement before I started rebuilding the front end.
If the front end is wore out at 100K maybe the car was used for baja rally's,
I think MB builds cars that last longer than 100K under normal driving conditions.
