I would call them. To me, in the O/S/R I see the R as Rear and F as front, but the O/S has me stumped. I googled OSF suspension bushing and OSR suspension bushing and found a lot of different stuff. I think you have to call them

I could be wrong but I think N/S/F would mean near (drivers) side front and O/S/F would be outside (passenger) side front.

Yeah, I was kinda thinkin Off side front and Near side front. Older Jags have similar notation. It is also some good old British terminology.

NSF (Near Side Front) and OSF (Off Side Front) are still commonly used in the UK. They describe the position in relation to the kerb.

NSF = LH
OSF = RH

We can have similar misunderstandings with HOOD and TRUNK. Easily confused with Al Capone and an Elephant's nose.

Despite being able to read the parts list in the OP, I can't find a source for the bushes.
