Headset Bearings

Hi all,
I've got a 2011 Rockhopper and noticed whilst riding the other night that the front felt a bit loose and clunky. I've taken the headset apart tonight and degreased and re-greased the bearings. It's an FSA integrated headset but not sure which model.
One thing I didn't take a note of is which bearing came out of the top and bottom. So my question is - does it matter and is there a way of telling which is which?
They both look the same but looking on chainreaction they sell upper and lower bearings separately.
Cheers

no difference to integrated as they are just cartridge bearings. if that is what you have."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Yeh they're defo just cartridge bearings so I thought they were the same. Just confused me how chain reaction sold upper and lower separately as if there was a difference.
Cheers for clearing that up.0
