rebuildable means you can remove the strut cartridge. are the ones on the car now toyota OEM? the retainer thingy(gota love technical teminology) looks different but still servicable/rebuldable.

On vehicle, how can I tell if they take inserts

While the struts are still installed on the vehicle, what should I look for to know if they are the type that take inserts, or if they are sealed.??
