Is there are differences between front and rear Hydrolastic bags? If so how are these identified?

I know my S has different front and rear bags, front are probably stiffer for braking when the load moves forward but only guessing. The serial number is stamped into the middle of the body. Here is a link with more info and pics.

Thee are different part numbers, but I had an idea in my mid it was because they came with the extra fitting on the end of the hose...

You'll see in the thread posted by Flute there's a factory engineering drawing that shows the Deluxe bags are the same front and back, whilst the Cooper S bags have different front bags to back.

There's a lot of technical info on hydro here - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=83658

I'm running Mini K/Matic bags in back and S/GT in front. Car sits nice and level.

Rear bags will fit in the front and front in the back
