That may well be the answer! Possibly someone got a quote for rebuilding
their rear brakes with the heavy duty wagon bits and opted for the easier to
swallow sedan setup.

"  The vented rear discs came on the wagons that had the "heavy duty" brake
package.  The rear calipers are th same, so the vented discs can be
retro-fitted."

Hmmm, not sure on this one, Ben. The rear calipers for 5KTQ  Avants are
different from all the other 5k's. Only crosses to some 200's and V8's by my
books. 
I also show only one avail brake rotor for the rear...

447 615 601A vented, 5000TQ wagons '86-'88
443 615 601B solid, 5000TQ sedans 8/85 on up.

The measurements will tell the tale on Jackies wagon. The solid rear for
sedans should be 244.5x10mm versus 269x20mm for the vented version. T'morrow
will tell the tale....
