There is no picture where MC cable conductors exit this what appears to be a type NM ( romex ) connector . If it had a full opening there is nothing stopping anti short bushing from falling out ( even armored cable types that anti short bushings are not required always install them ). A few years ago we had a case of garbage made in India 1/2" die cast duplex MC connectors that did not have a listening on what sizes of MC cable they were listed for. We were using them for 10/2 MC cable.

Anti-short bushings are not required for MC cable per the NEC. I still use them (or I prefer a couple wraps of black tape) because it is a better installation.

I thought the ones with a “squarish” opening were dual rated, the opening was big enough for a 14/2 or 12/2 romex to pass through but small enough to catch and hold MC jacket. The completely open throat are for romex and the small circular throat where for MC. Like This
