What are these ohlins?

Obviously not PCV or DFV. What are the spring rates? How can I tell?

I found a similar set on ebay. Appears to be Japanese made Ohlins shocks, possible adjustable strut perches judging by the rings on the shock. Springs, no telling. I couldn't find much info even with the part number.

That green looks typical for Swift to me. If you can make a few basic measurements, even if no markings or brand. you can get a pretty good approximation of rate...easiest with shock or spring off the car naturally.

After looking through some old Japanese FD specific magazines, I found that these are called the High-Performa damper. There was also a set called the B-performa damper. Brand new they sold for 239,000 yen, so quite pricey. They use a C-ring adjuster to control height. The B-performa damper was a more traditional coilover as we’re familiar with now. The High-performa damper was more expensive.
