I'm in the process of ordering new tie rod ends and ball joints for my N/A 1990 SW20.  The front and rear ball joints seem to have the same part number, is this correct?

I'm fairly certain they are the same front & rear.

NO!! 
The front SW20 ball joint is smaller than the rear.
Front p/n 43330-19025
Rear p/n  43330-39135 
 
BTW, the Camry (FWD) uses the same ball joints on the front as the SW20 uses on the rear.
