He indicated that I should send back Girling 54 mm caliper and they would credit me.
Called back to check if they had any 57 mm front calipers in stock. Talked to another person. Told him my story, he also indicated that he thought all 164 front calipers were the same. Asked him to check to see if they had any 57 mm front calipers in stock. The came back and indicated that they have a Girling 57mm that they will ship to me. I specifically asked him to verify that it was a 57 mm piston and he confirmed that it was. Will charge me for another caliper and core charge, which will be refunded when I send the wrong one back.
I'll keep you informed regarding of what I receive.

When I look on IAP web site and in catalog I see the same numbers 05293/05294 for 91-95 front calipers and same repair kit 06517 for both, too.
I know now Lucas and Girling are the same company but my 91 has Girling on caliper and Myron/s has Lucas on his 95 so companies must have merged after that.
I wonder how much mismatch in braking force 57 vs 54 mm piston size will give?
Now front rotors do have different item numbers 06027 91 and 06034 94-95.
