Brake rotors don't match! 700 1991

On close examination (w/o wheels off), it appears that the two front rotors on my '91 745 Turbo w/ABS are different - on the passenger's side, the rotor itself sticks out about 1 cm from the hub and appears to be an obvious separatate piece. On the driver's side, the hub and the rotor are flush and appear to be one piece. I need to look into this further, but aren't all the rotors on the later 740's (this one has ABS) the updated two-piece ones?

My brakes shimmy when I brake hard, and I need to check the brakes more carefully. What do I need to look out for when working on ABS brakes? I also will check the FAQ as I know there is an ABS brakes section there. Thanks.
