They are model numbers stamped on the build plate of your car. If you have a CA72V then parts should be the same as the local CA72V (SB308) model, if it is a CL11V then you'll need to get in contact with Cappuccino Sport or Import Monster.

CC72V should have the same suspension as the local CA72V model, I can provide photos of the front struts to compare if you like.

Rear shocks should be the same as Hatch/Alto/MightyBoy/Carry models - unless for some reason the import uses Mac Struts or some other odd setup.
