Capri 4 cylinder struts - are there differences?

Here is a question for the many Capri gurus on this forum.
Do all 4 cyl struts have the steering arms attached (2 bolts) or are there versions with the steering arm made as an integral part of the strut? Both my cars have the arms bolted on, so is the strut I am using to compare not from a Capri?
I am sure many of you will be able to help.

    Looks like an Escort item.

    Cheers

    Could also be MK2 Cortina.  All capris had bolt on steering arms

    Thanks you all for your advice.
    On much closer inspection & with the tape measure, there are a number of small differences - length of strut body & position where the axle is on the strut. So, it now goes in the non Capri parts box!!
