I don't know the arrangements you mention, but I suspect that the
answer is yes, it is in SATB. I have seen some SA books which, in their
front cover, show the mapping between these parts and the instruments.
Furthermore the latest SA books are the same as their piano books (I
presume so that in a chapel you can use what ever instruments are to
hand), which means that a conductor can see all the parts and watch
the harmony lines to check the players are playing the right notes.
