The main differences are

1. The inner TCA bushes (interchangable in all combinations),
2. Front strut tops are different (not interchangable as far as im aware),
3. Rear ARB, early rear arms are the same but won't have the mounting point to use a rear ARB.

More or less the big changes took place in 83, so there's the pre 83 setup and the 83-90 setup.
