How do you tell the difference between regular and se front brake calipers?

Are there any special markings on the se calipers to tell them apart from the others? If not, what is the diameter of the piston, as that is a way to tell?

Thanks

front from an 85 SE equals a 51MM piston bore and this configuration http://www.rockauto.com/ref/Cardone/...ml?171080A.jpg

an 83 also equals a 51MM bore but..... looks like this, check out the top for obvious reasons http://www.rockauto.com/ref/Cardone/...html?17570.jpg

So, it looks like the big difference is the mounting bracket.

Thanks
