Did I get the wrong master cyllinder?

Ordered CENTRIC Part # 13045103 Centric Premium
Rear Disc Brakes from Rockauto.com

The one I got has the screwed in hex piece that doesn't show on any other disc brake rear master picture I've found. Just the Centric ones have that hex valve in BOTH drum and disc models. But they have different part numbers.

Haven't found a conclusive answer on the board here either. Seen lots of posts of people swapping to disc and saying they didn't change their master, but I want to keep things as the factory intended.

It's an '82 GSL 4 wheel disc.

Is the valve indeed a residual valve? If so I have no problem with that. My caliper carriers are a little worn at let the caliper/pads slap around in reverse to forward so a little extra maintanence pressure wouldn't be a bad thing.

My pedal feel right now, and since I've owned the car has been fantastic. Even with it weaping out of the bore now. Don't want to sacrifice that!
