Multiple types of tie rod ends?

I'm trying to refresh some of the front suspension components on my car, but it seems aftermarket parts are some of the only options these days, which is complicating things.

Does anyone know why there are two different types of tie rod ends listed for the FD? I know there was a change to the thread pattern after 1992-1994ish(1st/2nd/3rd gen FDs) and I've found the inner tie rods that are the right fit for the later model cars, just not sure on these outers.

Left side: https://www.torque-gt.co.uk/555-tie-...-rx7-fd3s.html
OEM Part number listed: 8AB2-32-280 (not sure if this is actually the manufacturer's part number, another site lists these numbers: Control number: TRDE5516MZ-L Reference genuine part number: 8AB2-32-280 Part number: SE-1551

Right side: https://www.atkinsrotary.com/Suspens...55-32-280.html
OEM part number listed: B455-32-280




also assuming I need these dust boots:
