Want to know before I paint them.
Thanks!

This is not something that is common.
I bet they sent you a Lucas 57mm and Girling 54mm from 91-93 models.
Lucas and girling are the same company (Lucas/Girling) now but Lucas is stamped on all 94-95 calipers (fronts).
You did pull off 2 front Lucas calipers, correct? Then that is what should be replaced. Check the number on top of caliper where the piston is, should say 54 or 57mm, you want 57mm
All rears are 38mm girling
