FB13 series 1 version 2 brake cables

Hoping someone can help me out here.
I have a 1983 series one version 2 with disc rear brakes.
I'm looking to get new rear brake cables but having problems getting the right ones..all out of stock.
I have been offered a full set of RX7
1981 to 1985 cables...my problem is...early cars to end 82 had drums and mine has discs...I'm being told they are the same cables.......
I would not think so but can someone clarify.
I'm in the UK and need a left rear ?
Nearside or passenger side however it is listed ( or a full set ? )
APPRECIATE ANY INFO AS I'M DESPERATE TO GET HER ON THE ROAD.

we don't have the UK or EU parts catalogs, but we do have the US and JDM catalogs, so we know that there are 3 different cables (per side) the difference is the models they came on. and what model years they were offered.

the 1981+ drum brake cables were FA54-44-410A and FA54-44-420A

the 1981-1985 non vented rear disc brakes got the FA16-44-410B and FA16-44-420A

the 84-85 (9/1983 production start) with the vented rear discs got FA66-44-410 and FA66-44-420

the 44-410 is right and 44-420 is left.
