I know you know this, but for general info so far... I think the
difference is manufacturer, Girling vs. Lucas (Lucas later).

I just pieced together a right rear setup on my 90Q (while replacing all
pads and rotors) where I used a 4kq caliper carrier with my stock 90Q
caliper.

I also know the pads are the same, reputable sources and btdt.
