Upper suspension bar fitting

Forgive me as I'm not an engineer/technical minded, however it seems the two rear sus bars are complete with their mounting brackets (and nap pins still installed), which to me gives impression they've come loose from a/c frame under force.

That leaves the question of the front sus bar, which they haven't shown a full picture of, however they do show the top mounting eyelet (with bolt and pin) that seems to have broken up.

If the bottom of the front sus bar was not anchored as per some of the 'maintenance theories' then surely the bar would have come away with the MR head un-challenged and the top attachment wouldn't have been damaged?

Does the fact it's broken away not indicate that it was still secured at bottom when it separated?
