Need help identifying old bilstein shocks

I recently got this 96 corvette and have been slowly fixing it up. I was gonna buy their b6 shocks so after I scraped off some of the dirt caked on I was pleasantly surprised to see some bilsteins already installed. I can’t figure out which ones are there right now and could use some help identifying them

Rear shock

Rear shock 528205W00

Front shock

Front shock 221 402 68
I tried searching around a little bit but couldn’t figure anything out, any help would be appreciated

Not sure but I swear I remember reading here that if the Bilstein shock says Delco it is the original shock. Dan

Ok that makes sense, I’ll just replace them then, even if they are aftermarket they seem very old

Well, what I do know for sure is the B6 Bilstein's you can buy now do not have Delco on them. Dan
