The grease for the outer should have a grayish tint from the moly additive, while the inner grease shouldn't.

Interesting PDF - thanks.

In the GKN boot kits, they were in 80g pouch/packet things. And they were as identical as I could tell, from checking for that while I had them. I can't remember if the pouches had part numbers on them, but if they did, I would have checked them against eachother. Also, I would have noticed if the grease was significantly different (e.g., as I have noticed for the in- vs. out-board Honda grease).
