Wrong rear spring bolts. Square or Round U-bolts?

I see that some of the trucks used square rear spring bolts and some used round (U-bolts) rear spring bolts. in the 67-72 truck years, what were used and when? I'm installing a Skyjacker lift on a '70 K10 and they sent me square spring mounting bolts, but my rear axle was installed with round U-bolts. What's going on?

square u-bolts should go around the leaf and the plate should flip to the bottom, with my rear suspension lift the reason for the flip was so the extra thread on the u-bolts was pointed down
