Default front lower control arm bushing hole slot in rubber & orientation

moog K6490, contains 2 bushings for the front lower control arm the front horizontal one and the aft vertical one.

on the aft vertical bushing, it's not completely full of rubber. my question is with the slots in the rubber should they be orientated or located a certain way when installed in the lower control arm?

i also just noticed on rockauto there's a premium aft bushing by itself, moog K200790. I attached the pic from rockauto don't know if it's accurate but it does not look the same.

Should i bother getting these two premium aft bushings, or just run what i already have installed as is?

The premium bushing, as I understand it, will allow for more articulation, compared to the OE style, solid rubber bushing. If it were my car, yes, I'd install them.
