Question about bronze bearings

From the color I'd say those are Oilite sintered bearings. You have to look very closely to see the individual bronze particles they are made of.
The oil seepage test is a sure indication also

by the picture, i would concur that you have oilite bushings.

generally speaking, solid bushings usually have thicker side walls
a second indication is the lack of an oil gallery (solid bushings usually have them, sometimes the gallery is filled with graphite for lubrication)
