Who makes Volvo OEM shocks? 700 1991

I recently bought new rear shock absorbers from my local Volvo dealer, where they give me a good (20%) VCOA discount and are very helpful. The shocks cost $66 each, and are bright blue with a dark blue or black plastic sleeve on top. Who makes these and what are they comparable to (eg Boge, Bilstein, etc.)? Did I spend like $25 too much on each one, or was this a reasonable price? I used them to replace some squishy Gabriel aftermarket shocks that the previous owner had put in.

This was the solution to my sagging rear end. I put in new hd springs from FCP Groton but I am not sure it was necessary, as it was pretty obvious when I got the old shocks out that they were shot. NO evidence of leaking, btw.

Thanks.
