Rear Brake Caliper Shim

Rear Brake Caliper Shim
I am currently refreshing my brake calipers. When I removed the left rear caliper it had a shim between the caliper and the mount (pictures attached). When I removed the right rear caliper it didn’t have this shim. Is this by design from Mazda or am I missing the shim for the right side caliper? If I am missing the shim, does anyone know the part number for this part? I’ve tried searching but the only thing I find is the shims for the brake pads.

Beyond assembly errors, usually one or more of the ears break off and it doesn't get replaced - FD01-26-285A

Who would’ve known it’s called a “Plate Guard-Cal Brake”? Thank you billyboy!!!
Anyone happen to know the part number for the rear caliper mounting bolts? As I was cleaning the rear calipers I noticed one of the bolts isn’t factory and it is longer. I’m sure it’s functionally okay, just bugs me to know I have one bolt that is different.

Can't remember lengths, just be aware, there's 2 different bolts for the caliper mounting. Stamping on the heads should be G and L - if I'm remembering correctly.
I suspect most are stuffed by 12 point sockets rounding the corners on the heads.......6 point is the best option on this particular area.
