KindleUnpack has an option to dump the raw content of a Kindlebook if you really want to see what Amazon has done to your original epub!
I would never dare disagree with Diap, but, I will say that the intake processes and the PW (Publishing Workflow) at Amazon would, generally, add those things to the mobi, assuming that you did, of course, upload the cover at step 6. (It's 6 now, right? Not 5 anymore? Anyway...)

Otherwise, kids and kiddles, the mobis created from Word files would never work.

Right?
