with foot off brake and rolling they are easier to turn.
In the picture of the 77 with power steering, those are 36" humvee tires, notice the nut on the steering arm, it is shiny because if you turn too far to the right it will...
77 M880 with power steering. Only change was steering box with pitman arm.
78 W400 with factory power steering

Vin vs year
W24BE7Sxxxxxx is a 77 w200
W41CF8Sxxxxxx is a 78...
I will go look at my 78 today to confirm, as I believe the pictured unit is 78 or newer standard rotation.
The 75-77 set up uses a reverse rotation steering box.
To make the pictured ps unit work you would also need the drag link & the steering column also.
since M880's didn't have power steering, probably not.
Is it a picture of one that is for sale or one you have?
If it's one you have, if it bolts up & turns the right way, it is the correct one.
Too hard to tell anything from the picture provided
