Wrong callipers!
I have just been told by my local mechanic that the callipers I ordered to replace the originals on my Rover 75 KV6 tourer are wrong! WTF? Turns out that Euro car parts returns the wrong part for the model when you enter your registration. On further digging with one of their desk staff (helpful bloke actually), we discover what we think is the correct part for my car, which they can get for me tomorrow (not from EU Spares, although I'm tempted)! The thing is that these appear to be 'matched' to the 120 PS R75s and 160 PS MG ZTs, so diesel models presumably. But that can't be right can it? Surely they'll fit all variants? Anyone think otherwise?

David, to the best of my knowledge all rover 75 discs and pads are the same with the exception of the 190 and the 260

Not a shock for ECP - a generic factor will always publish any mistakes in the 'catalogue' and be completely unaware.
Use Rimmers to locate the ones you need.

In that case its as others have said, only two types, standard or the 190 spec.
