Default Snubber bushing confusion

While looking for another image in my 1972 Assembly manual I paused at this one and I am suddenly confused. It looks like this shows BOTH cushions above the differential mounting bracket. I thought the male sleeved cushion goes above, fits through the bracket, then into the female cushion below the bracket. What is correct?

Thanks for the reply. That's basically the same image from the assembly manual instead of Wilcox.. Shows both cushions above the bracket. Is that correct?

Number 9 is the smaller cushion ( HAS THE MALE PART), which goes on the top.
Number 4 is larger and goes on the bottom.

The Keen illustration isn't showing the frame bracket and the AIM above is very difficult to see. There is a cushion on top of the frame bracket and a cushion between the bracket and differential tongue; try this AIM illustration:
