Default Need help figuring out what type of buggy I have??

Hey guys, new to the site here. I grew up on motorcycles but I'm considered new to the "buggy world" now also. Anyways, I just recently picked up a buggy on a trade that has a Suzuki Katana 600 streetbike motor on it. The guy was never able to tell me what the actual buggy itself was called though. I know it's not a custom made frame, everything looks professional and from what research I've done, appears to be a "Hammerhead buggy?". Just seeing if there's anyone out there who's very familiar with these buggies that could possibly let me know what I have. I'm in the process of trying to replace a driver side strut/spindle support and cannot get it up and running until I figure out the correct type buggy I have to order the right part. I recently ordered a strut that was claimed to fit a "Carter, Hammerhead, Trail Master & Trail Sport Works buggy "only to realize the strut did not fit. The strut I received in the mail was instantly determined too long and didn't have a ball joint end on it like what my buggy requires. I will post two pictures below; one of the buggy itself and one of the difference between the new and old strut. If someone could, please let me know what type of buggy I have and/or let me know where I can get this type of strut from, I would greatly appreciate it!!

cant see the motor but it looks very kinroad-ish.
if it has a radiator then it has a 250 which i would think it's a kinroad runmaster II.
if it doesnt and it is a 150 i would still say by the frame it's a kinroad, just not sure what model, maybe a sahara or raptor but they all kinda look alike to me.

I did some research and the kinroad looks just as similar to mine as a carter or hammerhead, not sure how to pinpoint the differences between the 3 but they all favor the same. However, I did some research on the kinroad struts and they do seem to be a match for the strut my buggy requires but just can't be positive unless I do the trial and error route. I'm gonna attach some pictures of the strut I needed replacing and a kinroad strut. Pay attention to the arrows pointing towards both struts, they both seem to share the same strut design with the circular shaped brackets, which no other buggy strut design seems to match the struts on my buggy like the kinroad, so I'm convinced it may be a good possibility it is in fact a kinroad

Here's the kinroad strut, see the similarity in the brackets the arrows are pointing at?
