I'm betting the fiche is right, because those calipers were originally spec'd
for the '80-'83 5000T(maybe your 200). The application listing on the 5000T
lists the part numbers "correctly" oriented ie: 424 being a RR caliper. I
can't recall being under an '80 5000t recently, but perchance might the
mounting positions be reversed on the rotor compared to the ur-q app? Hence
the same P/N for the calipers, but reversed numbering due to the mounting
position. Any antique 5000T owners care to comment :)
