Front strut top bearing

I need to change the top strut bearings on my 03 406 hdi estate, it looks like there are 2 options of parts one kit contains the bearings plus what looks like rubber mountings and the other kit just contains the bearings and is half the price.
When I did the same job on my wifes 206 the only parts choice was the bearings.
Do I need to buy the mountings as well?

Well done gentlemen. I'm thinking that's a few potential broken springs avoided too.
