SA or FB Fenders?

So I have these fenders and my understanding was that SA's and FB's had different fenders because of the different bumper designs. Is this true and which kind are these?

I'll try another host, but I will post these fenders in the forsale section once I know whether these are for an SA or an FB. Original Mazda fenders that were in my friends garage for the past 20 some years.

those look like mine, so I'm gonna say FB. Might want to check that the bolt patterns are the same too. I'm gonna run out and check my car...

I've got four on top and two on the bottom by the door, as well as the ones that connect to the center top piece and the faring underneath. look around for some build threads of SA's since there tend to be pictures with the bumper off, just to make sure those openings on the front of your fenders match up...

So what's the identifying difference between the SA and FB fenders? I've never actually seen the two side by side for a comparison...

yes, i can tell I have a sa I am working on, you can tell the difference by the front bumper opening. its molded to let the rubber end caps (that are impossible to find) sit flush with the metal fender.
