CA are rear calipers 4 gsl and se the same?

I need a left caliper for a SE rear end. I found one on ebay, but it is listed as 84-85 caliper. Are they rear calipers the same for 84/ 85? I have also noticed on here some brakes have the banjo style brake lines? What year are those 2?

The Se and GSL are different calipers.

They are both single piston, but the SE has vented rear rotors so the SE calipers are wider to accomodate them. I believe both have the same style brake hose. Second gen's have the banjo fitting on their rear brakes, I don't think the GSL-SE shouldn't though.
