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!)

I knew it... ! :)

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.
