Question Confirmation Please: Front Struts Post 4/85 Bilstein

Okay, so I received my Bilsteins today.

Just purty they are

But wait, something is not right? I swear my inserts have the gland nut on the outside, not inside. Hmm, let me check.

DOH

My supposed pre 3/85 build car:


New Bilstein Inserts:


So it appears PO replaced front strut/spindle with a post 4/85 ones.

Can you fellas confirm. I do not recall my housing having threads on the inside at all.

Per website:
Strut Insert - Bilstein Heavy Duty (Front Left or Right, through 3/85)

Brand: Bilstein Heavy Duty
[More Info]

Rating:

(2 per car, sold individually)
Note: Only for Cars with Boge Struts.

Part Number: 34-001127-M51

TIA,

Jim
