SA vs FB Strut Mounts

I've been searching and can't find an answer. I'm looking for strut mounts for my SA, and I think I found some, but all the rest of the ones I'm finding say "11/80-up", and the ones I found are NOT listed for the '79. Is there a major difference in the strut mount between an SA and FB?

Sorry to reply to my own thread, but I found the info.
For those wondering: the strut bearings are different. SA uses a flat roller bearing whereas the FB uses a ball bearing and a keyed shaft.

Thanks DrivinDriver for that detailed thread.
