Couldn't say for sure, but I'd say it's unlikely given the totally different suspension setups.

I did say unlikely rather than no didn't I?

That said, the distinction must also be made between the "same" and "nearly substitutable".

You could check monroes online catalogue....
If I recall MX62, MA61,RA65,SA63,MX73 etc all had the same rear shocks....
Not sure if they will have a listing for the MA45 however...

Any decent suspension shop (read: NOT Pedders et al) will be able to find a set of shocks to match your application. Just because there's nothing specifically listed for an MA45 doesn't mean you can't adapt something similar.
Case in point: my car has MX83 strut inserts (front) and MA61 shocks (rear), which gives me a choice of SFA for off-the-shelf stuff. My suspension guy had no problems finding a set of Koni's for me though.

I actually don't think they are. I'm pretty sure the solid axcel xA6x and IRS xA6x are different and not interchangeable.
