Based on my experience, most or all 1985s came with Bendix front calipers from the factory. But you need to pull a wheel to be certain as ATE are easier and cheaper to buy, so many cars have been switched over when calipers needed replacing.

The difference between the two pads is thickness. From memory, ATE pads fit Bendix but not vice versa.
