You'll have to take the wheel off to see the caliper clearly. Look for a tiny Ate mark in the casting; on mine it was about 1/4" square, on the outer part of the caliper, up near the top rear. For bendix, they usually put a much larger semi-circle that looks kind of like a brake shoe, usually on the bump that conceals the piston workings.
