WI FB Hatch Lift Strut PN?

Hi, I bought some Hatch Struts for my 85 GS from O'Rieley and they only had one PN available. They were Stabilus Lift-O-Mat OE PN SG127001. I got them and while they would work, they are not "right". They are somewhat universal and in our application would place the cylinder attached to the hatch and the rod attached to the body, which as you know is reversed from stock. I looked at the ones on the car and they are KYB but no PN.... I want to return these and get stock like replacements, these also need to use plastic adapter bushings which are white and they just won't look good. I want to keep the car as original as possible and these don't cut it. Any help on PN, where to buy, and cost would be great! This is my first post so please be gentle, was on the Facebook groups and wasn't to impressed on the helpfulness but was directed here by a bunch of people~ Thanks in advance...
