Default 1996 XJR/6 (x306) Which variant of the steering rack do I have?

My steering rack is leaking and I am planning to replace it with a rebuilt unit. Based on my research it appears that there are different variants of the steering rack? Some say that supercharged XJR has a different ratio from normally aspirated? Also, the site where I was trying to order it lists EVO (speed sensitive variable assist) and non-EVO versions. How can I tell which one I got?

Any pointers to rebuild kits and/or instructions would be greatly appreciated as well.

On the left side of the left side foot well for a LHD american version there is a steering control module if you have variable steering

It's under the small cover

Although I have not done it the outer seals can be replaced without removing the steering rack

But the 90 degree ball joint rod end must be removed

By changing the fluid many times as a drain / refresh method the seals soften and seal better
