Sorry, but the engine numbers, like all of the other supposed ways (VIN, date of build, etc.) to identify which style bearing is in a 2005 is useless. Every method, other than taking the car apart and looking at the bearing center bolt, has proven to be wrong many times over.

And as for which bearing is preferable, the older serviceable unit or the newer one that cannot be removed without tearing the entire engine apart, well that is a matter of personal preference. The older bearing can be replaced and eliminate the possibility of failure, the newer bearing (which also are known to fail) does not give you that option. If it were me, I would want to retrofit the bearing.
