The front and back are full housings only on the ST which is way a lot of people use ST struts on a GT since they are the easier install. I am yet to see a GT with sealed struts. Easy way to tell is lift up the boot around the strut rod (the boot is in between the spring and the rod and is black plastic type stuff) and see if you can see a large flat silver plate over the strut housing. If so you got inserts, which I am like 99.9% certain you have otherwise KYB would tell you to check. Be warned that galnd nut is a bitch. I recommend hammer and chisel to get it off since KYB supplies a fresh one.
