Default GAZ dampers for '95 XJR ?

Dear All, I am saving up for some new dampers for my '95 XJR.
GAZ do adjustable units for the XJ40 and they are used by some of the racers, so should be ok in terms of handling and are reasonably priced at £60-70 each.
Will they fit my X300?
I am sure that the front ones will, but not sure if the rear arms / mounting points are different on the XJ40.

I have had an XJ40 and still own a XJR6
I just bought the bilstien oem replacements but the standard shocks on XJR6 cars are green bilstiens I could have reconditioned them it was quicker and cheaper to just buy new bilstiens

I think the green Bilstiens are about £200 each which is too much for me given the value of my car. I also like the idea of adjustment. Do you recall if the mounting was different on the rear between the xj40 and x300?

Same if I remember you could get the original Bilstien reconditioned adjustable shocks aren't going to make much difference
