Four halves, making two bushings with shoulders (hence the halves - - can't have a shoulder on both sides without it being able to split apart). Sometimes they will be tight to get out - - you may need some inner tube rubber in the jaws of you pliers to grasp each first half to twist it out without marring. then the other side will press out with a socket or similar from its backside. Bolt holes do not determine bushing size; shock eyelet does. You will find bushings of same OD bored a few different IDs. In your case, looks like one set was bored for 6mm, the other for 8 mm.
A view of how the halves look:
