Drivers side driveshaft enquiry

[Integrale1]

My car failed it’s MOT due to a failing drivers side driveshaft. The garage found it difficult to get hold of a driveshaft, however a few days later it was fixed.

Having a poke about underneath the car tonight as it’s been feeling slightly loose/wallet at the front end I noticed the new driveshaft looks nothing like the last one (which was a genuine renault one). It doesn’t have the centre bearing or the support bracket.
My question is, has anyone used/seen this type of driveshaft before ? Could it be the cause of the slightly woolly feeling from the car?

I’ve enclosed some images if the driveshaft

172 cup used a longer single piece driveshaft on the driver's side I believe, and it would fit a normal 172 or 182.

The support bracket and bearing was used on cars with a 2 piece shaft
