Should be simple to check.

If your front hinge pins brace is gunmetal colored it should be a WC (shortest front block, larger wishbones), if it is blue it should be a SP (wider block and shorter wishbones).

I like the SP one on my DB although the WC is more aggressive and got more steering.

After a quick check, SP hinge pins gap is 40mm.
