Every trans I have had apart had this bushing on the reverse gear. I would say, Yes, Ford transmissions definitely have some yellow metal in them.

My March '29 truck doesn't have these - but there is no guarantee this is the original tranny either.
Nice to see in the parts blow-out that THREE needle bearings are provided for the cluster gear. Ford only provided a short and a long AND a spacer between them. Three is better.
