Turns out that MA6x RCAs don't fit RA6x.... but might AE86 RCAs?

I bought these celicasupra RCAs a LONG time ago - assuming they would fit RA6x - and tried installing them in my RA65 today.
Well, they don't. The bolt pattern is correct as expected, and the bottom of the RCA matches the steering arm perfectly, but they won't bolt up the the bottom of the strut - the ring that locates in the base of the strut is offset. I could just grind it off, but that's not a very elegant solution.
Now my question is - might AE86 RCAs fit RA6x struts? IIRC someone here or on the old celicasupra forum tried AE86 RCAs on ther MA6x and they didn't fit because the locating ring was offset... which sounds like exaclty what I want. Can't find anything searching though.
