I too have noticed that wick-like substance in the oiler passage and do not know if it is a wick or just accumulated crud as it is usually deteriorated beyond recognition. A felt wick does make sense in the passage. Good question and I hope someone does have an answer.

I also have seen the difference in the bushings and also noted that some were dimpled and some were not. Either seems to work quite well and as you noted and will outlast me. I guess it is a vendor/price issue.
