Default I need help identifying these shocks, please

Hello. I can pick up these used shocks for a good price and I was wondering if anybody could help identify them. The progressive site doesn't show a model that looks like this. I'm wondering if it's another brand that is using the progressive springs. BTW these are currently on a 2005 FXD. Thanks!!!

The guy I'm talking to and doesn't know too much about them. I'm hoping somebody can identify the brand and model by sight

Progressive used to have a line called Active or something like that. Maybe it's from then. They seem to have quietly dropped the line.

after I've researched it, I now inow that the 300/350 is the spring rate. This shock's weight capability is equivalent to a standard 11" 412 shock.
