I'd give the KYB distributer and see if any year model match.

Close, but no cigar - KYB internals are just slightly different. Cartridge diameters are not compatible.

Sachs damper cartridge caps are RH thread, but they like more than a little heat to persuade their separation from the cartridge. You'll want to make sure you have the right cap tool however, or things will go badly.
