Which accumulator to get?

I would watch what happens, but replace the accumulators when the ride gets harsh.

One clarification...when I buy the rear accumulators, the parts house (********az )has 2 different ones:
1. Fibi-Bilstein: Self-Leveling Accumulator Sphere/Air Cell; Front/Rear Left/Right; Nitrogen Chamber with Blue/Green Dot
4 per car. For models with self-leveling/hydraulic suspension.
and this one...
2. Fibi-Bilstein/Corteco: Self-Leveling Accumulator Sphere/Air Cell; Rear Left/Right; For Self-Leveling Suspension System
2 per car.
Both are listed at the correct one for the '91 560 SEL. Any help as to which is the right one to get? THX!!!
