I'm just wondering where would be good spots to place axle stands on the 2 for both the front and rear.

If anyone's able to get pictures as well of the locations, it would be greatly appreciated.
 
Your owners manual has these locations. Look under the tire changing section.
 
Alternatively, take a look at the pinch welds, there's going to be a few distinct spots where it looks like the pinch weld is "different".

So then do the axle stands just straddle the pinch weld like in this picture (not a MZ2)?

Look for the "notches" in the pinch weld near the front and rear wheels...it's extra strong there, specifically designed for putting a jack/jackstand.
