911 Strut Identification help needed

Hello all.. Looking for some guidance from the experts

I'm trying to identify some 911 struts, possibly Bilstein RSR coilovers

There is a number on the right strut, 344AK53999 (have not taken the left off yet) along with "Made in Germany" they were originally green which should mean they are Bilstein

Now I know you can measure the spindle height and that will help identify it but I'm having some confusion on where that measurement is taken is it from roughly the center of the rosette weld (A) to B or C



(will add a pic of strut tomorrow, left my phone at home today)

Thanks in advance all

Okay with the help from Steve Weiner of Rennsport Systems they are original RSR struts with a 17 mm raised spindle... that should do it, on to the next step

Question where are the spindle measurements taken?

so - pray tell - where are the measurements taken?

never mind - found it RSR Spindle Height

i have a similar question re: some old euro Bilsteins (yellow) circa 1972
