How to tell if I have Bilsteins

I just bought a set of swift spec-r springs with what I was told are MR Bilstein struts. Problem is the struts are not yellow. Are all of the MR Bilstein struts yellow or did they ever come in black? I really hope I didn't just buy a set of non-MR kyb struts.

They say MN101565 on the side of the front struts.

Thanks

Looks like these are the stock GSR struts. Awesome.

All Bilstein struts that came off of Evolution MR's should be yellow. They will also have a silver plate with the name and serial numbers on each strut.
