that the only way to tell which is correct is to measure the
diameter of the retaining pins for the brake pads. I did this while
on the phone and sure enough, even though my caliper is a 16 P
model, it takes the pistons and dust cover indicated for the PB
model!
We also took measurements from the pistons removed and they
match those for the PB model. He said this has happened
enough over the years that he will only sell them based on
the measurements and not on the model type.
