No, I'm entirely right - but only as far as the quattro is concerned.
 
According to my parts fiche , the front sensor is always 443 927 803A - 
regardless of year - through end of production in 1991.  The rear sensor is 
857 927 807A for non-Sport quattros - the Sport has different rear 
left/right part numbers.
 
Obviously they changed the Coupe, from your information.  But they didn't 
change the quattro, and may (therefore?) not have changed some other models.
