Skoda Octavia II 1Z5, (2006) 1.6 MPI, 75kW - Rear Suspension question: is it Multi-link or Torsion Beam?

Car's VIN if necessary:

<Removed>

Hello everyone, I need to replace the bushings and eccentric adjustment bolts on the rear axle because I've been told that my alignment is too rusted and the bolts can't move without tearing them so I'm am looking at aftermarket bolts ( 2xFebi 29568 and 2xFebi 29690 along with the bushings.

However Is this car equipped with Multi-link independent suspension or a Torsion Beam? (Some sources claim the 1.6 MPI 2006 model has a beam, while others say all Octavia MK2s have multi-link).

Which bushing is for the Camber adjustment and which is for the Toe adjustment? I'm going to order 2x Febi 40439 (Track Control Arm for left and right) and 2x29690.
And I'm completely unsure if I need the buy 2 of these bushings Febi 29568 and where exactly are they for, does the adjusment bolt go trough them or not? Are they necessary for the alignment?

Regarding the eccentric bolts: Do I need two different lengths (one for left, one for right) or are they specific to the adjustment type (Long for Camber / Short for Toe)?

Thank you in advance for your help!

It looks like multilink. On my MK2 it is. For adjustment you need 4 excentric bolts. Two for the top swing arms and there are another two but cant remember where. Have a look at https://www.lllparts.co.uk/skoda-parts manufacturer diagrams. They show the complete rear in exploded diagram with part numbers etc.
