Question DI/Defender Brakes on RRC?

I was searching through Mitchell OnDemand today during class, to look at what it will take to rebuild my calipers on all four wheels, just out of curiousity.

Now as I was searching I came upon 1995 Range Rover Classic County LWB front calipers that look nothing like my front calipers, they looked like a single piston floating caliper, while I know my caliper is fixed. Mine has four pistons in the front caliper assemblies (total of 8 pistons up front). I clicked on Defender/Discovery, and a view of my 4 piston calipers were shown.

Was my truck fitted with Discovery/Defender brakes?

4 pistons are correct for your truck.

Huh, that is odd. I would have to tell my instructor about that. Even though I am the only Rover rolling into the shop, it would probably be best to notify my instructor about that mistake.
