BC coilovers shocks identification

Bought a set of BC coilover from a forum member, he also doesnt know the details as he didnt install them

It comes with a set of new shocks but I'm unable to determine what these shocks are.

Original Dampening knob
1. Front dampening knob is bigger than the rear dampening knob, meaning the front knobs are too big to be screwed onto the rear shocks.
2. The rear dampening knobs are too small for the fronts.

Original Shock size
1. Front shock is thicker than the rear shock.
2. Front shock is shorter than rear shock.

The unknown extra set shocks
1. Dampening knob size is the same as the rear.
2. Shock size(thickness) is the same as front shock.
3. Same length as the front shock.

It's like a hybrid of the original front and rear..... is this the super low kit shocks? How can I identify what shocks these are

Shocks are in the rear and struts are up front, they are different and are relied upon to do separate but similar tasks....
