Den:

When they were new, the Girlings had a big “G” stamped in the side of the caliper … probably not visible now. :-)

Look at how the carrier is attached - {as I recall} the Girling carrier is attached to the pins with bolts, while the ATE has the pins as part of the carrier … the Hyena (’88 Westy) had one of each when we inherited it … it has two Girlings now, but I still do not know which it had originally.

The pads are the same.
