From the rescue mode boot, can you mount either /dev/md2 or the underlying /dev/sd?2 from either of the disks. If not, the raid isn't your problem, it is the contents of the partition.

# mount /dev/md2 /mnt/part3
mount: Mounting /dev/md2 on /mnt/part3 failed: Invalid argument

What about the /dev/sda2 or /dev/sdb2 that was the original disk? If you can't mount the filesystem from there, I think the contents either weren't what you thought (the raid wasn't working before the other drive failed) or something you have done since has damaged it.
