Rear Girlings were still quite common in the rear end in the early 80s at least in Canada. My 84 turbo had them until last year. One was seized so I replaced them with ATEs. Which leads to my second point. If you have not owned the car since new I would not rely on the sticker in the trunk. Someone may have switched out the calipers like I did. The safest bet is to look for the little girling hairpins on the caliper.

It not that big an issue anyway. I am pretty sure the rotors and pads are the same for either on the rear. They just need different hardware kits if you are replacing the hardware
