AE86 different power steering racks?

Greetings fellow C4AGers!
here goes, I got 2 AE86 power steering racks from a guy on here who needed to get rid of them and they are identical. so with an extra PS rack on my hands, I wanted to try de-powering one of them based on i write up i saw over on hachiroku.com
im in the middle of an engine swap, so with the motor out i figured why not swap the looped line PS rack that came with the car for the one i de-powered while the rack is easily accessible?
But when I took the looped line PS rack out of my 85 GTS and compared it to the one I de-powered, I noticed they look sorta different. One is more narrow than the other and one has 3 bolts holding on the steering gear where as the other only has 2 bolts. Very strange.
I did some searching around and couldn't find a whole lot of info, is there a difference between zenki or kouki power steering racks? Are the SR5 and GTS racks different? or did i just not get AE86 racks from the other member here? was the looped line PS rack in my car not an original corolla rack?
funny because the write up pics on hachiroku.com showed the exact same rack that i de-powered...
anyway, just figured id run it by you guys to see what you think, thanks in advance people!
-BELOW- the one on the right is the de-powered rack, the dirty one is the one that came out of my car
