Bilstein Shocks

I am looking to purchase shocks for my G's . G#1 has Bilstein Yellow ( Model No ?? was on vehicle when purchased ) up front and SACHS Normal at the rear - Both shocks are in good condition. G#2 shocks front and back need replacing. I was thinking of moving G1 Bilsteins to G2 and replace the front with SACHS HD. Not sure what to do with the REAR for G2 as I see there are 2 different Bilsteins on the marcket - the B4 and the B6 - can anyone tell me what the difference is - Bistein website just says B4 are OEM rplacement and B6 are "Sport" .

How can I tell what model Bilstein I have ? It is yellow in colour and no adjustable ( as far as I can tell ) and is over 6 years old.
BTW SACHS HD Rears are no longer available except from Mercedes Benz.

Hmmm ... I bough 2 new Sachs HD rear-shocks last month ... NOT from the DC-Dealer and NOT from ORC ...
