I don't know the dimensions of the bolts, but those kinds of things are not expensive at the dealer. If I had to buy new ones, I would get them from the dealer so that the correct grade of bolt is ensured.

And the strut tubes are the same, I am not sure what you mean by ease of ball joint replacement. Somewhere very early in the line, like in the 1970s or so, the spindle size changed, but the rest of it was still the same.

Generally, the only difference between the P/S and non-P/S cars are the ball joints themselves. (Aside from the rack).

There is a difference between the turbo and non-turbo strut tubes, and that relates to the fact that the turbos had about 1/4" longer strut inserts.
