Yes, the smaller part is your bearing,under that the upper spring seat.The rubber part is your upper mount in plate.

So I'm guessing that it's a case of replace the bearing in the spring seat. Then placing the upper mount plate onto. As I'm guessing those 3 bolts are the ones I can see under the bonnet. And in this picture it's upside down.
