[V8] V8 rear calipers shared?

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

Not interchangeable.  The caliper for a v8 has stamped 41/43 on it,  the 
caliper for a 100/200 has 36/38 stamped on it.  The piston is smaller  on the 
100/200 (except 91 200 *only*, which uses the same v8/early S4 caliper  and 
rotor).  As far as I know there is no shortage of the v8/S4 rear  calipers.  You can 
also get them rebuilt from Napa pretty reasonably with  exchange.  Just make 
sure you have the 41/43 stamped the top of it.

Well my two rear calipers are shot and my  mechanic is having trouble finding 
a passenger side one. Are these the same  rear calipers as the 100/200 
models? If they are, I'll just as for a caliper  for a 100/200 and I bet 
they'll be plenty.
