I'm sure that the thrust surface of the pressure plate is missing in this picture.
I emailed the seller and the reply came back
This is a complete clutch, nothing is missing, in the picture is the cover assembly the clutch plate and the release bearing. It's all there.

from the picture, the thrust plate is missing from centre of clutch cover.
Maybe that's what's in the box?? However when seller says 'thrust bearing' that normally refers to the carbon bearing that fits to end of the lever, not the cast iron centre piece of clutch cover.
(which is what I think you're saying)

It is missing - hope the buyer is well pleased with his purchase - although the plate and carbon thrust are probably worth the price attained.

Is it a 918/803/948 or 1098 clutch, not clear with the pressure plate that way up.
It is not normal for the thrust plate to be separate so I would say it is missing. I normally just change the release bearing and the drive plate, the pressure plate will last several clutch changes if not damaged
