Ok I got the part numbers from small cars.

Front pads 447698151F

Front rotors 8E0615301C

Rear pads 443698451C

Rear rotors 447615601A

I also confirmed with small car what I found on the samba.  The brakes and
calipers are from a 1990 Audi v8 Quattro and the rotors are from a
1991 Audi 200 Quattro 20v.
