They sound similar to the ones that were on the rear of the Ro80. I had 
my brakes apart on the Ro80 lately and they were exactly the same as 
Type 3 front brakes with the exception of those little stainless clips 
to hold the pins in, made me wonder why VW didn't do it the same way, 
they were ATe calipers as well.
