Think they are Astra GTE shocks but not 100% sure...someone will come along and verify this or not!
If it ticks over...leave it

The front are eye bottom, pin top. The astra shocks are a direct swap.

To fit them on the rear you need to make new top mounts on the chassis to accept pin or weld eyes onto the shock.
