22282142 and 22282143 are what I actually removed from my car in 2020.

They were replaced by those exact same part numbers- but another difference is in the numbers that are indicated directly below the BWI numbers.

Original BWI 22282142 and 22282143 also had "14111141" underneath (possibly a date or a batch code)

Replacement BWI 22282142 has "18304121" underneath, and 22282143 has "19168091" underneath.
If you have higher numbers than "14xxxxxx" or "15xxxxxx" on yours, it is a good bet that you have the updated shocks.

Also, you can see in the first picture that the newer strut set is taller than the original strut set.
