2022 Pro Matryx Slash 165 khaos hybrid? A little confused Khaos vs. Pro Matryx... looking for input

Picked up a 2022 Pro Matryx 165 slash, NOT a Khaos. Has the non-Khaos velocity shocks with the single compression clicker adjustment on all 4 shocks.
So... checked the rails, color matched purple to the rest of sled; sticker on rails says "ASM-SUSP Khaos 163 LW 0118030-1917". Rails have the factory anti-stab setup.
It is definitely a Series 8 165 2.75 track.
Track adjuster still has plenty of room on it so no problem there.

So that is the part that confuses me.
On top of it all my buddy picked up a 23 Khaos 165 with super low miles, and I thought the Khaos front suspension mount went into the bottom hole; his is in the top hole, as is mine.

I would LIKE to make mine a full Khaos geometry (without spending a bunch more money) but I have no idea if my rails have the right curve to avoid issues, Or what to change at this point...

I think there is a part number stamped somewhere on the rail itself but I haven't had a chance to look for it.

Going to explore the parts online for the suspensions but looking for input.

My understanding is that all RMK sleds going forward will have Khaos rails. Not exactly sure how that profile compares to the axys Khaos rail.
Difference now is the longer shock and limit strap length As well as the more adjustable shock on the Khaos.

Add a khaos adapter to the shock and a longer limit strap.

I had a 22 boost pro rmk 165 last yr. Fts measured the same length as the khaos fts so I added the khaos limiter strap. The difference it made was so minimal you would never notice unless you rode it before/after. I adjusted the front and rear shocks which seemed to make a difference but I never got the results I wanted before the season ended and I sold the sled. My 23 boost khaos 155” is a riot, sometime it’s a bit much in certain situations.

I do believe that is new for 2024, and his 2022 should still have different rails thank a khaos (without looking at the sticker in the pic). The new combo rails for both pro and khaos are somewhere between the old pro and khaos profile, likely closer to pro with a turned up tip

Thank you for the clarification

Since it is the 165/2.75 with extroverts with the factory antistab, maybe these are the same as the Khaos? Under the Pro parts they do show different part numbers for 165/2.75 and 163/3.0 but as we know the 163/3.0 is really a 162 and those differences may just be a length thing. Going go look at the 22 Khaos (matryx and axys) rails and see what the part numbers are... (left rails for reference)
Matryx Pro 165/2.75 1544908
Matryx Pro 163 1544413

Matryx Khaos 165/2.75 1544904
Matryx Khaos 163 1544408

Axys Pro 165/2.75 1544727
Axys Pro 163 1544413

Axys Khaos 165/2.75 1544722
Axys Khaos 163 1544408

So it APPEARS that ALL the 165/2.75 sleds have different part numbers, but the 163 track sleds share part numbers between Matryx and Axys... unless I typo'd something... doubled checked them, should be right.

Thats a lot of part numbers to get confused with. Hope I never need to figure out what used rail will fit my sled some day. Guess if something happens I would just go with Ice Age rails...
