The wagon struts you've listed use the rear blob/hawk top mounts, dust covers and bump stops as used in this thread. See post 17:
https://www.scoobynet.com/suspension...ar-struts.html
The spring will also have a smaller top diameter coil.
Bug rear springs are not tapered and use the same 90mm rear stop shown in the thread, but a different dust boot - KYB 910072 - that kit does both rears.
They use this style of rear top mount

These fit the struts I listed.

Thanks for your patience, it's a bit of a minefield matching all these parts up.

If you've got bugeye rear top mounts (in which case you've got bug springs) you need kyb 334302 & 334303 and kyb 910072
If you've got blob/hawk rear top mounts (in which case you've got blob/hawk springs) you need kyb 334356 & 334357 and kyb 910046

Got my excel-g fitted yesterday and what a difference. Good job I got new top mounts regardless as they were rotten when they came off.
Its also solved 90% of the rattling, knocking and creaks coming form the rear so that's good as well.
