The part numbers are the same as those at Eshocks for the 'Touring' shocks,
and I believe that is what they really are.  You can see that the pix are
all wrong, right?
If you actually go to Eshocks and do the reading, you'll see that the real
Type II shocks have a different part number.

It's been a while for me, but my memory tells me that split window front
shocks have two eyes, top and bottom, not an eye and a pin like Vanagon
shocks, so they couldn't interchange

Respectfully, Jake
