The Monroe shocks are going to be OEM (or near OEM) replacements I suspect. The bearing doesn't actually sit on the shock ...it sits between the rest cup (which will most likely have been with the car from the factory) and the top mount.
The cup is 2 in the pic below, bearing is 5 and top mount is 6.
I think mine ended up with Febi bearings when I replaces the shocks & springs. Also worth considering the SKF bearings available from GSF Car Parts. 58% off until Sunday using code WKD58.
If the top mounts look fairly tired & you don't know when they were replaced it's probably worth doing at the same time.
