Good pictures. I don't seem to be able to post pictures yet (I do have a rebellious streak so wise maybe...) but I'd noticed they were the same system too.

Thank you.
Just LR who advise purely front fitting it seems, and not because they aren't necessary, rather a risk of (some types) fouling the suspension or other at the rear.
