rear suspension shock bellows and bump stop

Hello and how are you all doing. Its been a while since ive been on here. so I have a question. I currently driving a 2014 E250 with standard suspension I just ordered a rear shock kit from FCP Euro. they say the car doesnt use dust bellows or bump stops. I looked at the car and i can see a dust boot and i'm gueesing has a bump stop too. I havent removed a shock but can somebody tell me what the part numbers are that I would need or do i have to pull the rear shock out and see if i can lift a number off of the old parts ? I would like to buy new dust boots and bump stops and have them pre assembled ready to go when i change them.
model year- 2014
model- e250

Shock dust boot

I see the shock from Mercedes comes with the shock boot. However, the Billstein B04 does not . A video I watched a guy ordered a dust boot/bumpstop kit . And he was using the Billstein shock.
I looked last night on ebay, there are advertisements for bumpstop and boot kits .unfortunately they are out of China and will take weeks to get.
I am thinking that if the boot and bumpstop isn't in bad shape I will have to reuse them untill I get the new ones .
isn't there anybody in America selling those ?
thanks, Scott
