The later one has a square tail end to accomodate larger machined areas needed for 
the larger grooved banjo ends of the hydro hoses. That's all.

I had installed both, the -061C on a '85 5000s and the -061H on a '89 200TQ.
My '89-'91 Bently sez: do not install the older part on a newer car (I guess coz the 
O-ringed banjos won't fit in the small identations designed for Cu washers of the 
-061C).
However, Bentley sez nothing about the other way round. My guess would be that you 
might succeed.

Where've you been a year ago, when Blau sent me the wrong (-061C @ $250) part. I 
busted my butt, trying to find the right one (-061H) NOT from the dealer, until I 
finally had gotten hold of it for $325. :)

I have dual piston calipers up front and the large (39mm-?) ones in the rear. GPR 
sold me an excellent 4-line SS Teflon lined set for $45. One thing: although the 
fittings on those lines are 10x1mm, the hexes are 9/16". So now I am forced to keep 
1 (ONE) inch sized tool in my toolbox.
