The key in the FAQ has worked well for my later 740s (1990, 1991), but my "new" 1986 seems to use a different code format on a similar plate. Can someone help me interpret the earlier version?

The FAQ says:

Refer to the product plate (located above passenger front headlight or in the trunk or door jamb). Go to position "E" (end of the second line on the right). The following codes apply:
2: Girling Front, ATE Rear
3: DBA/Bendix Front, ATE Rear
4: Girling Front and rear
5: DBA/Bendix Front, Girling Rear


And my 1986 plate looks like:

I don't have a brake problem, or even a reason to pull the wheels, but I'd like to know what kind of calipers I have so I can get parts before jacking the car up if I do have an issue. Interpretations of any of the other codes on this version are welcome as well. Thanks in advance.
