The one on my 70 has 2 holes in the lower arm. It also has a straight shaft and offset in the upper arm like #1, but it also has a smaller offset in the lower arm just above the holes. Don't think that offset would make much difference since it's not even the thickness of the arm itself, less than 1/4".

According to my assembly manual the upper hole is for adjusting purposes - the manual calls for all slack to be taken out of the adjustment when the pin is in the upper hole, then to move the adjuster to the lower hole and this will give you a starting point for adjustment.
