Default Quick yes/no question..these ARE the correct parts, right?

Alright, ordered the tensioners/bolts from Sunroad Ford Parts, had them sent home 5h away where we'll be installing them. this is the picture I received once the package was open. These look to be the correct ones right?

I typed in these:
Ford PN 2W9Z6K254BA Right Secondary metal bodied Tensioner (1 required)
Ford PN 2W9Z6K254CA Left Secondary metal bodied Tensioner (1 required)
Ford PN W500301S300 Bolt (4 required)

This was the name of the parts when I ordered them:
TENSIONER ASY -SECON
Engine Camshaft & timing Tensioner Left
BOLT M6X35 HF PIL 8

Attached photos.

let me know it's okay to drive home today and get this done!
Thanks

Milwaukee, eh? I was just about to go to Manitowoc to put them on with my brother in law! How'd you find the procedure?

Correct parts for sure.

I still recommend changing the whole camshaft cover, if it has black bolts. New covers have silver bolts.

I run a shop and if you just do the gaskets, the frequently leak onto the exhaust manifold.

I buy the Lincoln LS/Ford T-Bird 3.9 tensioners from my local Ford dealer because they are $10 cheaper than Jaguar.

They look correct to me.

The gaskets were replaced at the dealership a couple weeks ago so they're brand new, otherwise I would have replaced them.

The job is finished, no leaks and no engine explosion! The old plastic tensioners had the small semi-circular cracks around the base you see on a lot of the other ones. I probably could have waited but I'm so happy to get the piece of mind.

Thanks for all your help!
