What front shocks do I have (AE86?)

Anyone able to determine what my current front shocks are? I will be putting coilovers in soon and getting rid of them, so they will also be for sale in the future.
They are black in colour, and have external adjustments on top of the strut. Looks like they have 5 settings. The little adjuster bit is Red in colour.
Could be KYB's? I havent really thought much about them since I bought my car, but just got me wondering for comparisons sake.
I only discovered I had TRD adjustables in the rear not too long ago(cheers steve lol), So I looked at the front set and found these also to be adjustable.
I know I could take the strut out and have a look... but meh
They are pretty nice and stiff (little on the understeer side) and currentely have Lovells springs of about 6kg with them (the whole lot will be for sale soon)
Cheers, Sean.

Well KYB dont make AGX shocks for ae86s so unless they are from a different car they they could be ruled out. No serial numbers or something on it?

If you had/have TRD adjustable shocks in the rear... are matching front items within a few lightyears of the nucleus of possibility?

Arch: They were set to 6 and had been for atleast the last year and a half I owned the car.
Now set to 8. (they are TRD blues)
Sometime along time ago I have had the shocks out , and I think I remember them being blue or black..
They might be TRD's.. anyone got any links to pics/info of TRD front shocks?
