Well, they appear to be very close, and since they do sit in a pocket, they aren't going to move around much (if any). I'd wipe the bearing surfaces with grease and install them and see if they don't stay put. I'm guessing there will be no issue. (I'd try them and see.)
Just for peace of mind, you might clean the pocket and then put a film of RTV on the surfaces. Once the bushing is pressed in and the RTV sets, I doubt then the bushing is going anywhere!
