Default Lower A Arm rear bushing question

For lack of time I took my lower a arms to a shop and had the old worn bushings pressed out and brand new Moog bushings pressed in, my question is are the new rear Moog bushings supposed to have these dust covers?

Looks correct to me, based on all the ones Ive seen in the past.

Yes, those are the new "problem solver" bushings. They are actually a steel ball in a delrin socket that is permanently lubricated. I have them on mine and they are much better than the old style.

EDIT: Nevermind, you have the old style rubber bushing. The first pic is a poly bushing, that's why it looks different.
