98 V70 AWD Nivomats

Does every 98 V70 AWD automatically come with Nivomat shocks in the rear? Will the data plate next to the battery tell me for sure which ones i've got?

All the awd's in Europe I am 99% sure they came with Nivomats

The only one I have seen that didn't have them was my old XC. It should have had them but the knucklehead I bought the car from bolted up some stock shocks. It drove like a turd and the rear end noticeably sagged with a rear seat passenger or any kind of load in the cargo area. Fortunately I picked up a set at a Pick N Pull, for $8.00 each as I recall, and it was like a new car.

I'm almost 100% sure AWD all had the Nivomats.

The link to IPD's website has a description on how to read the plate.
