I recently went thru this on my '91. IMHO it would be very difficult to determine without removing the wheel and the caliper unless you have both types available for comparison. Even with the caliper loose and studying pictures in various on-line catalogs, I wasn't sure until I scraped and sanded off enough rust to see the word "Girling".
