Do I already have a shortshifter???

I was planning on purchasing a DG shortshifter on Friday, so I just wanted to make sure there isn't one already installed. The parts that lock the cables in these pics look different than the stock ones I've seen posted here, and I've always thought the throws seemed shorter. Are there any other ways to tell (measurements of throw distances etc...)? Thanks for the help as I would rather spend the $$ on something I don't already have. I'd be happy to take more pics if it would help!

yours looks stock>>

the square cable ends were a late model year change.. I think they started those in late 02....

earlier built cars had the ones like you do...

I can tell your is still stock because on the dieselgeek, the end of the small grey 'side to side' lever where the cable goes is cut off, yours is still intact!
