This is the OS strut. You can see the mounting hole for the ARB link on the left hand side. On the NS strut the hole is on the right.
The spring doesn't lie perfectly horizontally on its support, it rises gently upwards. If you measure the height of the ARB link's supporting channel, the left-hand side is shorter than the right, confirming that the spring wire is rising up a gradient. For two identical ARB links, this explains why there's clearance to fit a ring spanner on the right-hand mounting but not on the left.
I hope that's a clearer explanation.
