You only need to do one to find out...actually, with the right light
I bet you could tell by looking down the tube, after the push rod is
out.  The solid ones are presumably one piece, but the hydraulics
have all the innards inserted through the top end, held in by a wire
clip that's visible from the top (i.e. outer) end.
