The ate pin has a larger end which is driven into the hole in the caliper. It must be driven out with a drift or a large nail to change the pads. The other calipers have loose pins secured by a small hairpin through the end.

I don't think they would easily be interchanged so perhaps one came loose and rubbed against something.
