They will be different depending on what exact version of commands
you have. The load addresses will be wherever the utility was
written to load to, and the execution address will be whereever the
utility was written to be entered at. You can't just assume they
are all the same.
Can't you do a full directory listing with adfs explorer to show
the load and execution address and cut&paste them (or even just
write them down)?

No. How can they? As I wrote above, any commands' load&exec
addresses will depend on exactly where the command has been written
to load to and to execute at. Taking as an example
<http://mdfs.net/Apps/Networking/NetUtils.zip>, you can see that
different programs have different load&exec addresses depending on
exactly how the program was written and what is suitable for them:

Actually, I'd suggest you grab <http://mdfs.net/Apps/Networking/NetLib.zip>
as it is a full network library, including BBCZip which will let
you zip and unzip stuff.
And, to open the box with the crowbar that's inside the box, grab
<http://mdfs.net/Apps/Archivers/Archiver/Archive>
