Identifying Top-Quality Control Arm Bushings 200 1981

1981 242 non-Turbo: I'm planning to do control arm bushings soon. Any tips at all would be appreciated. Also, how do I verify that the new bushings are really Boge or Volvo? In this modern world of auto parts, markings identifying the brand name are not always on the parts. I've heard of numbers being ground off, melted off the rubber, etc. I want to be positive that I'm putting in top-quality bushings. Too much time and labor to waste on junk parts. Any ideas?

Thanks everyone for all the information and advice, Doug C. 81 242 Brick Off Blocks, stock, B21F, M46; 86 244, B230, 140k , auto.
