Rear airmatic strut\shock absorber

Looking at the pic in the link

http://mb.ilcats.ru/part/class/1/cco.../vers//imgno/3

Is part 30 and part 40 the same . My strut has the part added in part number 40, it's the part that has the wiring coming out of it ( part number 50)
I hit some metal work in the road that has ripped of one of two canisters attached to the suspension leg ( the bit that's on part 40, but not on 30) is this a seperate part ? Or just not shown in the part diagram .
This is hard to explain !

That is the reservoir to control the dampening of the shock. Yes it is one part and it will come with the new shock assembly.

Thank you for the help.
So it has the res on the leg and the part with the wires coming out of ?
Mine has two units on the arm , a steel resivor and a part with wires coming out of it . The res is still attached but the part with the wires going to it has been smashed off .
It's the part with the wires honing into it that comes with the shock/leg as well ?
Thanks
Marc
