Should a S&W Mod 49 Bodyguard have these parts?

Should a S&W Mod 49 (no dash) have parts 4 and 6, by the extractor spring? (see pic)

The pic is from Numrich, but it's for more than J-frame revolvers.

Their parts list doesn't list parts 4 or 6 for the 49, but that might be because they don't have them.

Ibmikey, do you know since when, approx?

I am asking because I just checked a friend's 649-2. It has part 4 (Extractor Rod Collar), but no part 6 (Gas Ring).

Part 6 was lost, or, as you said, it is intregal with the cylinder assembly. How can I check if it is integral?
 
During The first S&W Revolver course I attended in 1971 we built Model 10 revolvers referring back to my manual I find the collar as a separate unit and the gas seal built into the cylinder. The front of the cylinder has the gas seal machined into it and will form a collar that the yoke slides into. I believe the cylinders have been made that way since the fifties.
