2020 Kenevo: No Bushings on the Yoke/link junction?

So when I unbolted the yoke from the swingarm on my '20 Kenevo last night to R&R the spring, I noticed straight away there were NO bushings between the bearings and the yoke and bolt(s). After owning 4 or 5 Enduros, a '16 Levo, and an '18 Kenevo prior to my '20, I've become mindful to catch those bushings when you remove the bolts so they don't splatter all over the floor.
At first I thought maybe Specialized for whatever reason, eliminated the bushings in '20, but then got to thinking(as you can see in the pic) that would leave the bearing(s) exposed-you can see in the other pic where mud has gotten smashed into the inboard side of the bearing on the chain side.
Can someone with a '20 take a pic showing the yoke/link junction like in the pic I posted here, so I can see if there's supposed to be bushings? I have a feeling soneone at the factory took a coffee break when assembling my suspension
Thanks

No 3 2020 Kenevos here and no bushings. The yoke has a raised edge to catch the centre of the bearing. Personally I’m glad they’re not there as I was sick of losing and re fitting the old Kenevo ones
