The answer to your question is probably yes. Any replacement engine installed after 2004 would be carrying the oversized "final solution" factory bearing. As noted, this is a non serviceable version (read it is larger than the opening in the rear of the cases, so it cannot be removed with the engine assembled). These bearings do fail as well, but as there is little you can do other removing the rear seal to allow it to fully lubricate by engine oil, which is your only option short of a full read down.
