Superbe Brake Lever Question

Do the slotted Suntour Superbe brake levers require housing stop/ferrule thing like Shimano and Diacompe used?

Here are mine:



No ferrules. Replacement hoods are the Generic Brake Lever Hoods from Loose Screws, unfortunately sold out at this time. Cables are Velo Orange Braided Stainless.
