There are 3 different balljoints.

One is symmetrical and is used on both sides with manual steering regardless of year model.

The other two are offset left and right. These are used to increase the caster angle for power steering vehicles.

As far as I'm aware, the balljoints are the same regardless of which style of strut they're attached to (ie all 2-series).

I think that the ones that had the balljoint attached into the bottom of the strut housing were up to about 1976. My '78 parts car had the later style with the bolted bottom plate.
