I ended up doing this:

foreach ($xml as $array) {
foreach ($array as $element => $value) {
$elements[rtrim($array[$index], '* ')][$element] = rtrim($value, '* ');
}
}

which outputs

Array
(
[290] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 290
[image_types] => 1 2
[short_name] => Vibratory Soil
[long_name] => Vibratory Soil Compactors
[image_id] => C018741
)

[287] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 287
[image_types] => 1 2
[short_name] => Soil
[long_name] => Soil Compactors
[image_id] => C018741
)

[286] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 286
[image_types] => 1 2
[short_name] => Landfill
[long_name] => Landfill Compactors
[image_id] => C018741
)

[288] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 288
[image_types] => 1 2
[short_name] => Vibratory Asphalt
[long_name] => Vibratory Asphalt Compactors
[image_id] => C018741
)

[289] => Array
(
[sub_family_id] => 289
[image_types] => 1 2
[short_name] => Pneumatic
[long_name] => Pneumatic Compactors
[image_id] => C018741
)

)
