Big Block Rear Question
What is the difference between a big block heavy duty rear and a standard rear besides the side yokes?

That's it. Just the yokes. And I believe after 1970, all rears used the cap yokes, so there's not even that difference.

NO difference. BB have caps, SB have straps.

The rear bar is also on F41 and FE7 cars.

Not correct. SBs had straps on all years.

It is my understanding that LT-1's only had a rear sway bar if F41 was also ordered.
Standard LT-1 only had the HD yoke caps as standard.

You are correct. LT1s with F41 had rear bars. The others did not. The LT1 cars also had caps not the straps.
