If you post a picture of the car (front and rear ends would do) I'll tell you exactly what you have.

If you order LA216 Front shock tower you will get the latest, it's a running change and nobody should have the old one in stock.
If you mean the tower mount bracket then the same is true a running change so just order LA210 bulkhead set and there you go

For the front tower mounts some people use the ali aftemarket parts (3 racing do some good ones) and that is a permenant fix to breaking that part but it does transfer the crash energy to the LA216 tower (easier to replac eand usually cracks rather than snapping so you finish your race ... better part to break if you have to break anything!!)

The driveshafts are purely a matter of quality. The Kyosho ones are first rate and of the highest quality and unlike the aforementioned tower mounts the 3 racing driveshafts are not, in my opinion, up to the job of racing.
If the shaft is bent you can try straightening, if not you might be able to find somebody with a second hand set in good nick (in fact I might have some brand new ones if it's an original ZX5 front end as the SP/FS is different).

Hope that helps.
