Default Identifying dropped beams

I just picked up a pair of dropped beams and a axle flip kit for 50 dollars and need to identify them so I know what balljoints to use,I did not see any identifying marks on them and while online looking at them a couple months ago I thought I read about one manufactures beams a certain year of balljoints needed to be used so i need some assistance on theses beams. They are going on my 2wd bronco project.

Comparing it to the one side off my 95 it looks like the balljoints go on the beam and not the spindle so what years had them and looks like I will need that year of spindles too.

The dropped beams use 82 to 86 style balljoints so it looks like I will need to get a set of 86 spindles so I can use my new calipers.
