These are a set of Aristons that I have laying around the garage (one front and one rear; sticker is gone on the right shock but the word 'Ariston' is stamped in the body). Not sure if these were off a '71 or early '72 but the small recesses (i.e., wrench holes) in the tops indicate they can be disassembled & rebuilt. Both shocks appear to have original paint so color is not a sure identifier for these shocks.
Comparing these Aristons to period Konis, every major feature is a match - probably same shocks, just different names and detail features. Later non-rebuildable OEM shocks do not have the holes - they were crimped together, not screwed together.
