Ford escort mk3 front track control arms

I have a new set of original genuine Ford escort mk3 front track control arms.

A - Will the Ford escort mk3 front track control arms fit a Ford escort mk4 model?
B - Will the Ford escort mk3 front track control arms suit all Ford escort mk3 models including xr3, rs, convertable etc?

A - there are differences but will fit. Diff geometry

B- not always. Early mk3 and low spec models are different.

This.

Also I think the mk4 3i bits are slightly longer, and the mk3 uses a bushed inner joint whereas the mk4 is rose jointed.

Has anybody fitted ford mk3 track control arms onto a mk4 escort. What alterations would you have to make to get to fit a mk4 escort car? Any help would be appreciated.
