I see what you mean - they were listed separately for the 760 and 960 when i bought mine (after a failed pair of Stabilus tailgate struts failed just outside the warranty - they also cost more and took longer to arrive!) so it seems they're going the way of "one size fits all". Saw similar with the suspension springs and dampers on the 800 series Rover, one model is 20mm lower with shorter dampers but now most places list one set of springs and dampers for the range, including the diseasel variants which had stronger fronts to cope with the cast iron VM diesel lump.

Never a good sign when it goes one-size-fits-all.

See my comment about Stabilus above ^^^^^ not impressed by them! Before you ask, yes they were fitted the right way up!
