I need some help, I tried searching through the forum and referenced both a 1993 and 1997 FSM, and also conducted some google searching with out finding an answer.
I spent a lot of money on a custom FF rear axle build that used 80 series hubs and associated parts. This was supposed to include re-manufactured rear calipers. I received a set of mismatched calipers of which, one I could identify as an actual Toyota (AT) re-manufactured caliper. They are both slightly different (don't have the bolt holes for the "boot shield inspection hole cover?") than the 1993 FF axle I compared them to that I have separate. I have some level of OCD and I want two calipers that were both stamped "AT" that came from the same original manufacturer, I decided to order one from NAPA after I found out that is what they sold as re-manufactured calipers. I have assumed the big "R" and "L" identify which side the caliper mounts to, this could be part of my problem. The non conforming caliper had a "R" on it so I ordered a right side replacement.
I received the NAPA replacement today and it is labled with an "R" and the "AT" identification I was looking for but found if I mount it on that side the bleeder is up side down. It actually mirrors the "L" marked caliper and has confused the heck out of me.
Both the 1993 and 1997 FSM show the calipers should have the bolt hole provisions for the "boot shield inspection hole cover?".
My questions are:
I appreciate any help I can get. It will keep me up at night until I figure it out.

My questions are:
- Are the two left calipers in the picture, silver and grey, even FZJ80 FF calipers for years 93-97?
- If so why don't they have the bolt holes for the covers?
- Are there other differences between the rear calipers on the previously listed model years?
- Lastly do the "R" and "L" actually stand for Right and Left? These markings are consistent with the 1993 I have.
