they look alike besides the ball joints, and the bushings are slightly different.
anyone seen this before?

Take some measurements you will know if they will work. What did they run per control arm ?

Take some measurements you will know if they will work. What did they run per control arm ? 50 bucks each. I already took measurements and they are the same size but even one is stamped mtx and the other one is blank.

Just to make sure call on monday ask why one has a stamping mtx and the other does not. If they give you the green light & your measurements are of same your good to go. How bad were the old bushings or ball joints ?

The old ones were shot and making noise.

A lot of companies out there instead of engineering a part they'll buy in huge bulk from other manufacturers, sometimes you don't get the same pair if they switch manufacturers at some point. You should return them and get a matching pair different bushings have different durometer rates. Never put mismatched parts on your car, control arms, brake rotors etc...
