Maybe use the pictures you took in an email to usaradiator for conformation, and return the unused radiator for full refund.

Quick update...I just ordered the same radiator with the heater return line...they have confirmed that it has the 3rd smaller hose nipple instead of the blank...Great service on their part

I would probably replace the radiator hoses too as long as you have to take everything off to get the new radiator in. Mine have both developed leaks at 100k and are OEM.

Are you going to replace the expansion tank or swap your current one over to the new radiator?

I replaced the hoses about 15k miles ago...so I am doing only the radiator and radiator cap...the expansion tank is good also.

Great. That should actually be a pretty simple job then.

Pretty straight forward...

The waiting on the part is annoying...I called a few dealers but they did not have any in stock for the 4.4...otherwise I might have bought it from a dealer and saved a few days at the $$ expense

How many miles on your X? While you have the old radiator out look at the state of your belt and water pump. It could be a good idea to replace them by the same token.
