HELP! are 86 and 87 hood hinges different?

I have the orig. driver side hinge installed. For one reason or another the pass side hinge was gone when I purchased the car. I bought this hinge from ebay. It claims to be off an 87 rx-7. Doesn't look like it will fit my car? Are teh 86 hinges different from the 87's? Can you tell from the picture if this is in fat a pass side hinge? It has the gas shock on it. Does that mean it is the pass side?

Could someone show me a picture of one installed?

thanks

Alright, thanks all. Figures... Another "e-gay" purchase gone wrong! I already ordered another one.

I think that might be a 3rd gen RX hood hinge...

thanks though...
