Early 2003 R50 rear brake caliper

I have a 2003 R50. The sticker on the door states it was manufactured in 11/02. There is obviously two rear brake calipers for the 2003 year model. How can I tell which brake caliper that I need?

Well after much research I found out that the 2002 and the early 2003 models had calipers that had a 12mm inlet and the 2003 and later have a 10mm inlet. I measured the inlet on my calipers and they are 12mm.
