The 2 lengths are 83mm and 102mm, so you could measure them. There's a factsheet explaining length relevant to VIN number in the members area ON THIS LINK.

i always forget about the fact sheets, im going to check before ordering since mine was made 01-05-96 right where it could be the long or short ones.
