  The ATE use slightly rectangular pads, a piston behind each one and each 
is held in with two smallish pins.  The Kelsey Hayes (?) have pads that are 

MUCH longer than wide, a single piston, two retaining pins on which the 
caliper slide, similar to Domestic stuff.  There are 3 to 4 different 
master 
cylinders and at least that many different boosters.
