Delco Moraine supplied three different sets of caliper castings during the years that this caliper design was used...
1965-Early 1967
5465954 (front, inner)
5465952 (front, outer)
5465902 (rear. inner)
5465905 (rear, outer)
Late 1967-Early 1972
5452270 (front, inner)
5452273 (front, outer)
5452281 (rear, inner)
5452284 (rear, outer)
Late 1972-1982
5473795 (front, inner)
5473796 (front, outer)
5473806 (rear, inner)
5473807 (rear, outer)
There are some subtle differences between these calipers, but nothing that can be seen once the caliper is painted and installed, so about the only way to identify them is by the casting numbers.
There is currently some conjecture on just what date codes actually appeared on the calipers. At this point I'm not sure that I'd be willing to state with any certainty as to what the factory actually did, so I'll leave it at that.
Regards,
