I found a couple of threads on this but didn't really find an answer.
I just got a 4 over set of fork tubes from Mikes and have begun dissembling the stock forks to swap the internals.

You can see in the picture of the tubes that the new tubes (on the right) have a smaller inner diameter on the lower part of the tube. Is this due to the year of the stock forks I have? I don't know the year of tubes these are. Does anyone know the year of the stock tubes I need so I can swap the internals over to these new/extended tubes?
Here are the internals:
