The alloy mounts are the seperate mounts without the cental strut across the gear case. If the alloy is not top grade, which looking at it it isn't, the mounts shear where the upright meets the base as there is not a lot of meat there.
I have had 3 front mounts go (1 set & 1 side) and 2 rear go (1 set) all have gone in exactly the same place. the last to go were the rear set, coming off a low table top the car hit a rut flipped and turned in the air came down on the back - hey presto self levelling rear suspension
.
In fact I have found the upgraded std parts (without the triangular looking top brace) seem to be better than the alloy versions.
the track I have on is at
