Difference between rear AE86 TRD greens, blues, & KYB silver adjustables?

Yes, I've searched. I know KYB make TRD greens & blues, and the KYB silver coloured shocks with the yellow label also seem to be the same 8-way adjustable case.
Anyone know the differences in bump/rebound & height between these three? My searches of TRD adjustable rears only gets 48531-AE881, which isn't the same part # I've seen on blues.

To complicate matters, I've found a pic of a blue pair with the above part #. This is a shock with a non-exposed rod, like the stock ones are. This is different to other blues I've seen, where the rod is exposed much like front strut inserts. All the green shocks I've seen seem to be non-exposed. Hmm.

for drift i prefer the feel of the TRD blues. FWIW i had both the TRD blues and KYB silvers. both are awesome and the TRD's just feel a bit better.

Thanks. I'm considering these for my RA65 - same fitment, ~60mm shorter extended length & ~20mm short stroke. Have to be standard length though, not short stroke AE86 like the GABs are.
