[Shotimes] Strut Housings for Konis?

[sho2go]

Someone gave me a set of old struts for the express purpose of pre-mounting
Konis before taking my car apart.  But I don't remember what year they came
out of, and thus don't know which Konis to get.  How can I tell if they are
the short or longer ones?  They are going in my '95, so I suppose they would
either be the same or different; what is the area that is different?
