Default Suspension blocks

Picked up the XR5 last Friday. Would like to make sure my suspension blocks have been taken out at pre-delivery, given other peoples comments on this topic.
So...what do they look like?

Front springs look nice and clear, but rear has various bump stops and 'stuff' inside the short-ish spring. i.e. not sure what I'm looking at.

thanks

p.s. great car so far. Feature packed and still discovering how it all works. 5 days now and approaching 400 kms (3hr drive home from SYD helps...)

strong bits of foam in the springs.

I didn't know what it was when it fell out cleaning
So I took it to my service department who told me it was nothing to worry about it.
It was only a few months later reading another thread I worked out what it was, and by then, too late to do anything about it.
