Shock and insert color?

Just received my HD Bilstein inserts and shocks from our host for my '71. The part #s match the website description but the colors are opposite. Mine are green fronts and yellow rears, photos backwards on site? I know I've read about this before but couldn't find it. Thanks in advance.

Typically, the Bilstein HDs will be green, and the Sports will be yellow (at least mine are, HDs/green on front, Sports/yellow on rear), but I have read that is not always 100% true.

I recently had an issue with a shipment from our host regarding Bilstein shocks. I ordered a pair of HD front shocks and received one green HD shock and one yellow sport shock. The kicker was that the boxes and model #s were identical on the boxes but the colors were off. They were definitely different shocks so some how one was put in the wrong box. Customer service is taking care of it so all is well. Only put my project back a week.

the part#s on the box match the #s on the site but my fronts are green and the rears are yellow(sport I thought) which aren't available for the rear on a '71. I called pelican and they need the actual # on the shock, which is at home. Was just wanting to get opinions from you guys too.
