This is a bolt beneath my tranny. Doesn't look factory to me, but it may be? Just looks out of place to me.

Yep, that is stock even though it looks weird. Is it also supposed to have that gap in the bushings too. It’s just to limit a maximum and minimum amount of driveline rotation due to torque. As a result, it isn’t supposed to grip the skid plate tightly at all.
 
Thought the same thing when I first saw mine, ya it looks weird.
And if you experience unusual banging and clunking under the the floorboard, that's probably the culprit.
Though that could also be indication of a broken motor mount.
