I don't think it was standard...

Spotting should be real easy.... Just look underneath, and if you see a solid axle(diff) then its not irs. Also, irs models have rear struts. So if you see these, then yep - its an IRS.

And an interesting fact with the rear struts on an AU is they are identical to the front, except for the fact the spring seat is much much lower (just above the lower mount) and if put in the front of an AU would fully dump it! Though it would not be driveable - so really this is just a waste of typing!
