You didn't say what year your car is. As far as I can tell, please someone correct me if I'm wrong, the 96-02 Continental came with leveling rear suspension and optional ride control. There were either regular shocks or four shocks with electronically controlled actuators. With the optional ride you could select plush, normal, or firm. Each shock has a wire going to it. From the pictures you posted it looks like your shock (strut) has the wire so it would be semi active and not passive.
