Are 03 GLE and 01 GXE struts the same?

Ive been searching for this question and had no luck... To me they seem different as the 5.5 refresh seemed to soften the entire suspension.

Thanks in advance.

the struts are also different. I've purchased OEM struts and there are different part no.. The GLE/GXE use the same struts while the SE use different struts. All maximas use the same front springs, only the rears are different. SE having stiffer springs in the rear
