Hi Alex,
Those end links do look nice all cleaned up and painted.
Do not use anti-seize on torqued nuts. It acts as a lubricant and will result in over-torquing which can risk metal fatigue. If anything, Volvo would have you using a thread locker on suspension bolts so there's no chance of them ever working loose, but thread locker also acts as a lubricant and should be avoided unless called for. Just wipe the threads clean and torque then to spec.
The sway bar end link bushings at the top do not get torqued, they get tightened until the rubber is compressed such that the cup washers are 42 mm apart (as measured outside in the middle, ie. including the thickness of the cup washers).
The lower bolt attaching the sway bar end link to the control arm gets tightened to the 90 Nm (66 ft-lbs).
For the 50 Nm, the "anti-roll bar bracket side member" they're talking about is the sway bar mounting bracket to the chassis with the rubber block bushing.
