I think they came from you to another clubber. Konis for the rear and 140# springs.
Can you tell if they're adjustable or not or if I can just yank the old ones (same color, but hecho in mexico) out and put these in? Not sure if I need anything else.
Thanks.

Look like older Koni's. Boge's (usually) have a yellow zinc cap on the top. If they're either they'll say so right on the side...

Dampening is adjustable. Push down on the rod all the way and turn until you feel a click... twist away.

The older Reds adjust by pushing the shaft all the way in, and twist the housing left or right to stiffen or soften.
I dunno which way is which

If they're Koni's there will be an arrow stamped on the side that says "Heavier". I believe it's counter clockwise to soften and clockwise to tighten.

They're Konis. Heavy D is stamped on it. I do see an arrow pointing to the right and below it is stamped Heavier.
Starting to make sense. Since I know zip, do you set them before installation or after? I suppose you'd crank them both evenly to start and then work your way hard or soft.

Before.
Yellow sports (and new Reds, too) adjust after install.
