Default Strut identifier question

So I'm checking my struts and wondering if someone can help me identify if they are stock or aftermarket. I see no branding other than the following:

747019
Q11062
They are black
Made in Mexico

I think I know the answer to my question, just want to be certain. Thanks

Go to Rockauto.com and they sell preassembled struts,, all you have to do is:
1: Undo the top strut bolts under the hood
2: Undo two big bolts holding the strut to the lower control arm
3: undo the sway bar end links
4: remove strut
5: do reverse to put in new pre assembled struts.

10 minutes each side no alignment necessary!

easy as pie amigo.

Might also wanna set up your floor jack under the A-arm with just a slight amount of preload on the suspension before loosening anything up.
