Trying to ID front forks for seal replacement

My son recently bought a KDX200 that is registered as a 1990 (VIN JKADXNE14LAxxxxxx) and is looking to replace some leaking fork seals. some online shopping has left us confused. This bike has blue anodized inverted front forks with 41mm tubes yet the Kawasaki exploded parts diagram shows a conventional fork up until 1993. Wondering if anyone has a definite way to ID these forks so we get the right parts.
Ideas?
update: Shocks are tapered and measure 56mm thru the lower clamp and 50mm thru the upper.

It's probably the later model forks 93 but if that's rust or peeling chrome on your right lower fork your gonna need more then seals.

Ha! Kiddo just peeled off the guard and didn't wipe it before taking pics. Not a nick or scratch in either tube. Look great considering the vintage.

Probably the same seals as USA 1993 to 1994 KDX200

Yes, they appear to be 93-94 KDX forks. Regardless, to my knowledge, all 41mm KYB forks use the same seal.
