You have done an amazing job so far, taking photos while at work work and later uploading them is very laborious.
When working on my car AC, I also changed this bearing but at that time I bought NTN 6203 LU similar to the one fitted from the factory. After three years of running it is still noiseless, I will suggest you to give it a try next time when you service this part. It is sealed from both sides for dust and water proofing.
