Re: OEM struts. Options?

I don't know what dates were on the cup holders but I saw the dates on the struts. Each strut had two Fuji stickers on them, one on the bag and one on the strut itself. These were not dealer stickers or written in sharpie or anything like that. The dates on the stickers did not match but were very close with the slightly older date being on the strut. It looked to me like the strut sticker had the strut manufacturing date on it and the bag sticker had the inventory date on it. What are the odds that the strut would have been sticking around, unlabeled, on a shelf for as much as 10 years before being labeled, placed in its protective packaging and placed into inventory? If there was just a sticker on the bag, I could see it being somewhat suspect. Maybe some dealer bought it, dated it and moved it into their inventory. But that's not the case here.
