79 and 83 same?

[NinjaSkunkApe]

Are the brakes off a 79 the same as an 83 gs850L

 

[JEEPRUSTY]

there does not seem to be a 79 850 L in the parts fiche at Alpha Sports.
59100-45100
and
59300-45100

are the front calipers for the 79 850 G and according to my Zedder database x ref app are peculiar to only the 79 850 G.

The front caliper for the 83 850 L supposedly fits the following
Part # = 59100-44104 Part Description = CARIPER ASSEMBLY,RIGHT Model Count = 12 GS1000GLX 1981 1000 GS1000GL STREET GS1100GLD 1983 1100 GS1100GL STREET GS1100GLZ 1982 1100 GS1100GL STREET GS750ET 1980 748 GS750E STREET GS750EX 1981 748 GS750E STREET GS750LT 1980 748 GS750L STREET GS750LX 1981 748 GS750L STREET GS850GLD 1983 844 GS850GL STREET GS850GLT 1980 844 GS850GL STREET GS850GLX 1981 844 GS850GL STREET GS850GLZ 1982 844 GS850GL STREET X4571T UK UK X4571T UK

But even if there were a '79 850L, the front brakes would not be the same.
