Question concerning Elka shocks

Ok, waited almost 2 months to get my shocks in. I’m unfamiliar with Elka and purchased them due to the high recommendation here in the forum. They ask pretty specific questions when you purchase them which is a good thing and helps both you and Elka get a more tailored fit and requirement on the end users part.
I get them in yesterday and the instructions that came with them are for a 2019 Max XT 850. My question to the more experienced guys on the forums who have Elka suspension, do they just put instructions in the box that are close to what you have or what they may have lying around? I’ve got a 2020 650 Mossy Oak Hunters Edition. Just hard to believe after paying the amount I paid for the stage 3’s they would skimp on the instructions.I ordered directly from Elka Canada.
Anyway, this is by no means a rant or bash just trying to be more informed and understand better since I’m still very new to the Can Am line. This is my first Can Am purchase and my first Elka purchase.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and ya I get it, shocks are shocks lol. I know how to R&R them, just wanted to make sure I have the right ones before I got halfway through and realized they weren’t and I didn’t want to call Elka just yet and not ask the right questions because I didn’t have the proper knowledge.
Thanks guys

Pure speculation on my part, but they probably don't have specific instructions printed for every single different package and chassis the outlanders are offered in, especially when the install is straightforward, and the "fine-tuning" is much more subjective to the end users preferences, riding style, etc.

If your bike isn't the max chassis, I probably would just call and confirm that the shocks they sent you are valved properly for the non-max chassis, just make sure y'all are both on the same page there. Other than that, I can't really think of any reason to be concerned over XT versus Hunters Edition
