Default Front lower control arm au2 same as BA BF ?

Are the AU2 front lower control arms the same as BA-BF ?
I want to get a used set to fit new bushes, but a bit unsure if there is any difference.
With some of the units on Ebay, they show a small metal angle bracket and two bolts, what is this used for ?

like in this ad: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FRONT-LOW...F/172517842416

cheers

It's so they can also be used in AU1 and allow the fitment of AU1 sway bars as shown below. AU2-BA-BF mount the sway bar from under the arm via links to a vertical mounting point. The metal bracket converts the vertical link mount to a horizontal bush mount.

I have a very good 170k au2 unregistered. It was the daughters so I did a few things to it. I am thinking of stripping it for parts for a ba ute. Starters and alternators and such. Is there a list anywhere that compares them for such a purpose ?
