I know the US 200 series has two catalytic converters.

Under the vehicle, see four different things that could be the cats?

I circled both on the passenger side exhaust. One on the left is the rear of the vehicle and the other one is the front of the vehicle.

Both circled are cats. One closest to the engine (right) is the pre-cat, and sequential to that (left) is the post-cat. Most modern cars are setup this way to meet tight emissions requirements.

The 200-series V8 operates as two banks of 4-cylinders. With each bank having its own set of pre and post cats.

So 4 cats in total.
