the middle 2 are lower the sides are upper, mind you most times the whole UCA gets replaced when it needs ball joints. you can tell by the thickness the bigger ones are always the lower BJ's.

So on the current lower ball joints I have installed they don't have that medal notch at the top like these new ones do?

I would grease them and replace the zerks with plugs for a lower profile.
Those will punch holes in shock towers if slammed by u or bumps.
