This should clear up the confusion... the Saab unit is made by Sachs, I have
the Sachs x-reference number somewhere.

This information is directly from the 1984-1985 Quinton Hazell Clutch
Components book:

Rover 2000 SC, 2200 TC    1973-77
Saab 99 Turbo 4 Speed    1977-
Saab 900 Turbo 4 Speed    1979-
Triumph 2500 PI MK.I, II, 2500 TC, 2500S    1965-77
Triumph TR6    1969-76
Vauxhall Ventora II FD, from ch.OV252010    1969-72

Vauxhall Victor FD 3300, SL (Estate)    1968-72
Vauxhall Viscount to ch.IV324999    1965-70

It would be interesting to get a hold of each clutch cover and compare the
differences, spring rates, construction, etc.

HTH,
