Default RC8 shocks big bore 19mm - 16mm

I have recently purchased 2 - RC8's -RC8e and RC8 nitro, Ibought the RC8e used and it has big beefy awesome shocks. I scored some beefy fronts for the RC8 nitro, but Ican't for the life of me the rears to match - I see everywhere that 16mm big bores, but when I measure the shock bodies of the beefy ones the are like 19mm, and the Factory team big bores are 16mm upon measure. does anyone out there have any suggestions? attached are some pics for review

i think the 16mm is the inside diameter, if you look at the spare shock pistons they will be 16mm diameter.
