Default Red shocks?

CADguy's thread about his green shocks got me thinking that when I changed the oil on my old man's 993 this week his shocks were red. The car sat a bit different than mine did at stock height. I attributed it to my US sport suspension vs his standard.

The more we look into his car the more it appears it was tracked frequently. Anyway, just wondering what type of shocks they would be? They are completely red, and springs were not paint-marked like the OEM's usually are. Looked briefly and the only thing I could find would suggest they may be Koni's???

I recently pulled the original as delivered from the factory US M030 suspension off of my 993. The shocks are red. They are marked Monroes made in Belgium.

I just changed the stock shocks on my 96 993 C4S with M030 US suspension. They were red.

The red shock housings are usually Monroes.

Here's some info:

And though its 996 info, still interesting reading nonetheless:
