Problem with new bushings. NEED HELP!

I got the bushings out of my shackles. The ones that came out did not have an outer sleeve and the new ones do. The ID and OD of the shackle eye and the bushing sleeve are different. The shackle is 1.375 id and the bushing is 1.5 od. Are there two different size bushings for shackles?

Now on to the leaf spring bushings. They are different too. The leaf eye measures just short of 1.5 id and the outer sleeve of the bushing mesures 1.77 od.
Did I just get the wrong bushings all together? This is in my 85 short bed. It is not the original rear end or leafs since it is a 12 bolt and not sure what year it came out of. I just ordered parts for the 85.What gives?
