DT3 Rear Shock Length was created by Jools

My DT3 came with non OEM fitted rear shocks which are not correct for the bike. They appear to be slightly too long and the springs are too large in diameter and on the stiff side. i have no idea what they are off but they did fit the mounting stubs on the frame and swing arm.

Can anyone with a pair of OEM shocks tell me what the length should be eye to eye please?
Therr are a few suspension specialist here in Oz that may be able to help. YSS seem to be the best value for money at the moment.
