Recon Gold or Silver?

patthepipe

Being a keen home mechanic I decided to service my Rock-Shox Recon forks, I checked all the available information I could, watched all the videos, no problem I thought.
When I checked Sram's site for oil types and amounts i discovered there are 2 models of Recon forks, Recon Gold and Recon Silver, and they both have slightly different amounts of oil.
How do I tell which ones i've got. I bought the bike (and forks) second hand so I got no info with it.
The oil amounts are only slightly different, would it cause problems if I put the wrong amount of oil in?

or could be a recon 327, 335, 351, sl, xc, race, tk etc ;-). What does it say on the stickers? Post pics if you can.

Recon 351 from that year requires 118ml of 5wt fluid for the damper, 15ml of 15wt in the bottom of the leg, and 8ml and 15ml in the spring left, top and bottom respectively, again 15wt.
