I only know these two variants, the right-curved and the straight one.
(Although two other variants types of large ladders/staircases appeared also in
Fabuland sets: In the old sets their was a 7-step staircase with one railing,
for example in set 132. A ladder was for example in set 3637)

I haven't seen one so far.

As far as I know they first appeared in Fabuland sets:
A yellow curevd one in set 3662 (Double decker)
A red curved one in set 3674 (Bonnie Bunny's new house)
A yellow straight one in set 3676 (Fun park)
A yellow straight one in set 3681 (Amusement park)
A red curved one in set 3683 (Amusement park)
They also appear in Paradisa sets as mentioned (in pink), in the Time Twisters
theme (color unknown) and in one of the Pirate sets (Dark grey, set 6270)
