The only 12" inch I don't have is Ghetto Life, all the rest are the same times for both, only thing about the 17 12" is that there's an instrumental on the B-side
They can all be found on Bustin' Out - The Best Of Rick James

I know "Superfreak" in album form is the short version. I never heard that song completely until I obtained the dual disc version of Street songs with the extended version as a bonus track. There is much more music not heard on the 3 minute version and not just additional edits. I never liked "Superfreak" until I heard that version.

As far as I know Motown only issued "Ghetto Life" as a white label promo 12" coupled with "Mr. Policeman". Both are the LP versions from the "Street Songs" album. I found a mint copy of this record in $1 bin at Amoeba in SF about a year ago.
