Hi  John:

After talking with the Bilstein rep we were able to cross  reference
KYB PN KG 5476 to Bilstein PN : B46-1738-H1.

The KYB PN is  advertised as being the application for a LM front shock.

Bilstein  shows this shock as used on Honda Passport and some Isuzus  
and  Subarus.
Cannot verify if it can be installed on a Corvair without  modification  
to
any of the attach points.

Still looking  for a rear shock to cross reference.

I have a set of four Bilsteins which came off a late model Corvair.
 
Fronts are marked 288002111 and 288002069
Rears are marked 49301131049 and 49301131376
 
My guess would be the last three numbers are serializing, with the Part  
numbers ahead. But that is just a guess. It could be all serial numbers! All 
of  the shocks had a "76" stamped next to the "Bilstein" stamp. That may be 
the  vintage..  I will clean them up and look for more numbers tomorrow.
Good luck.
