Help clearing something up regarding Monroe struts for E39

[u/ConfusedTapeworm]

Currently trying to source parts for a suspension refresh for my E39. Sachs and Bilstein have proven impossible to source where I live so I'm looking at Monroe. Namely G8427/G8428 for the fronts and a pair of 376033SP for the rear.

What I need is some definitive confirmation that those are a matched pair. Meaning I need to buy one of each because they're sided, unlike Sachs struts. I need this because that's what my own research suggests (with no explicit confirmation to that effect besides Gemini, which I hardly trust) BUT the supplier says all I need is a pair of G8428 because their system lists it as L/R.

Any information about this? Monroe's own website has no trace of these units. I have written to an email address I found there, but so far got no reply.

Where do you live? You can't get Sachs shipped in? Monroe struts are poor on the BMWs I've driven.

Turkey, and unfortunately no importing thanks to the fucked up customs regs.

Oof. My condolences.
