Great question. I had a similar question when learning strategy that nobody wanted to answer. But hopefully, I can help you out.
Although, BB and SB are the last two to act pre-flop, they are considered early position.
Positional play is all about post flop betting, not pre-flop. Pre-flop is about angling for position.
It's a simple answer, but it took me a long time to get it.
So, in reference to your charts, use early position strats in BB and SB. The one exception you might want to think about is pot odds. As when you're in the blinds, you've already got some skin in the game, so sometimes, it's worth a call to see a flop with a slightly larger range, if say, you're in the SB and there are a table full of limpers, or when in the BB - UTG min-raises, and there are two or three callers... you might want to expand your range just because of the value you're getting to call.

Charts are harder to make for the blinds because they depend on many factors
#1 opponents opening rage
#2 opponents opening size
#3 opponents aggression after the flop
Because of all these variables and that sometimes you are in position (SB vs BB) and others you are out of position (every other time). I would suggest that no you don't just follow the charts that you have here for in the blinds play.
