I'm sure someone will confirm but i'm pretty sure SS = twin pot, macpherson = single pot.
Also pretty sure GTZ = SS

Not superstrut...
But not the front standard brakes for AE101 or AE92 struts.
I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

think they might be ken, looking at the far left strut you can just see the ball joint hiding behind the disc, also the swaybar link on the far right strut on macpherson it connects to the control arm

I'm more than prepared to be wrong! Good spotting Adrian.
Hmmmmmmm. Lots of bits missing, and lots of links/hoses cut by someone to get the suspension in the state it is in!
Looks like the ABS wiring has been cut also - genius!

I think this is a pic of a ST205 superstrut but the design is exactly the same as AE101
