on the rear there the same on the front the 2wd has a smaller hole in the hub to fit the shock in, you can fit a 2wd strut into a 4wd hub using a sleeve but you can't fit a 4wd strut in a 2wd hub

The eye at the bottom of the rear shocks has a longer "tube" through which the bolt passes on 4wd, so they may do 2 different ones or just use the shorter 2wd version and supply 1/4" spacers to go either side of the eye fitting, would mean only needing to make one strut then, but easy to enough to sort out.
The fronts are as said.

to sleeve them just get some thin steel and wrap it round the strut before putting it in, my m8 did this a few years ago on his track car and it hasn't fell out yet!
