Front Disc Brakes?

My 1970 Jimmy 4x4 has disc brakes on the front. From researching, it looks like 1970 still had drum brakes, and that they didn't go to disc until 1971.

My question is, how do I know if it is a disc conversion, or a newer axle with disc brakes?

In either case, do they use the same rotors and calipers? Can I just get some rotors and calipers from Napa?

I ordered ball joints from LMC and they seem to fit like they're the correct ones. One difference I did notice, the picture on the LMC website shows the tie rod end nuts facing up, but on my truck they are facing down.

Would y'all recommend getting blank rotors or drilled / slotted rotors?
