do all precision 3550 variants support usb-c charging even if it does not have the thunderbolt icon?

do all variants support usb-c charging? bought one (not here yet just ordered yesterday) and it didn't come w a charger and I bought one from parts people that would also work on my latitude 5400... I am hoping that all variants of the Precision 3550 have at least usb charging even if it doesn't have thunderbolt....Please let me know quickly so I can decide if I need to buy another charger or not before it comes. Thanks.

this is the charger I ordered https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=33339

Yes, you can charge via USB-C with power delivery.  Depending on your hardware configurations (with discrete graphics), some system will require a 90w USB-C charger.

Previous comment was edited with link to power adapter specifications.  A 65w power adapter is also a support adapter.
