Bolts are the same as far as i know.
The torque spec is the same throughout all the 4age's.

Have played with all models of 4age's and they are the same.

The big ends and mains are 40mm on early bluetops and a few early "bigport redtop" engines (7 rib block but still 40mm).

The later redtops, smallports and GZE's are all 42mm.

Pretty sure the bolts are the same though.
