There is a label on the car which will have a code revealing what type brakes your car is equipped with. On the 245 it is on the top of the rear support rail. It is visible only from inside the right rear storage area. Remove the cover and look along the right side. It is the Service Label.

Look on the line for brakes. A "1" means Girling brakes, front and rear. A "2" means Girling front, ATF rear.

While you are in there, look at the line for Steering Gear. A 2 means the power steeting rack is a CAM Gear, a 3 means it is a ZF. The rubber boots which protect the inner tie rod joints are quite different. The ZF boot seals to a disc on the tie rod, the CAM boot seals directly on the rod.

The other lines, such as Fuel Pump (3 means Bosch) were important when Volvo used many different suppliers. That is no longer the case, AFAIK.

I hope this is helpful.
