Have Struts, Need Help

I have 29 pair of MacPherson Strut Replacement Cartridges which appear to have been distributed by "Bumper To Bumper Replacement Cartridges." The box for each pair has a stock number beginning with MC- or MD-. I am told they were made to fit early- to mid-70s Japanese imports. Does anyone know how I can match up the stock number to the specific automobile, or how to go about a search to do this?

I've been through various google and automotive searches and am coming up with nothing. Any help would be appreciated; PM me if you want.

Thanks...

Have you contacted MacPhearson or the place you obtained these from directly? That seems like the most logical place to start to me.

I have not contacted Macpherson directly as i believe these are "aftermarket" cartridges...I've been through numerous websites, also (Koni, Kayaba, etc.)...They were given to me by a fellow who had the same problem I am having now...
