US vs. European Part Specs (Housings)

I have a European Spec FD. I am planning a rebuild and consider I should change most internals, including front and rear rotor housings.

I will be visiting the US shortly where parts are c. 50% cheaper. Hence, I would like to know is if the US housings are different than the European ones.

Thanks guys

PS. I performed a search but in vain

No worries
In November - spoke to Racing Beat yesterday, they said they were practically sure there was no difference, but I should email them the Greek part codes and they would try and match them with theirs
Thanks for the stuff !
Let me know when you are coming to Athens

Following feedback from Dimitris (thanks), Racing Beat and Mazdatrix I can say the following
- European and US initial rotor housings shared the same part numbers
- Newer versions (replacements( have different part numbers

However, since they both replace the same rotor housings I am led to assume tha European and American houses are interchangeable

We measured the housings today...they are exactly the same as european, hence interchangeable
