Can anyone tell me the difference between a Swiss Stone Pine and a Mountain Pine? I contacted a local nursery, and the manager said he couldn't help, and the internet doesn't say anything about a Mountain Pine.

Mountain Pine = Pinus mugo. Needles in pairs.
Swiss Stone Pine = Pinus cembra. Needles in 5s.

Very surprised that you found "the internet doesn't say anything about a Mountain Pine" - here's just a couple of links to start with:
