I didn't know the brake discs varied, I assume they are the same for either system.

I think the caliper is the best way to tell your brake system age. If it has a single piston with crescent shaped pads it is late:

if it has two pistons with square pads it is early:

Thanks for the reply, I know the pads and calipers are different i just assumed the discs are also different.

I know ive got a late system, I just need to know how to tell the difference of the late and early discs.

Can anyone tell me please?
