No, Syncro front brakes are different than 2WDs
Rears are the same, except handbrake cables are different. Keep drums, backplates, in fact take the whole radius arm off (if you can!)

Not that the pads were the same but that I didn't know about the pads!

I thought the later (single-pot) 2WD calipers are the same as used on the Syncro. They came in two variants, Girling and ATE, but use the same crescent-shaped pad.
