When we swapped wheels recently, I snapped a photo of a rear brake pad. Yesterday I was looking online for info on aftermarket pads, and found that there are many types. There are regular and phenolic pistons, and 1" and 1 3/4" piston clips. I put this to the folks at http://www.crownvic.net/, and it seems there is no real way of knowing what your car has until you pull the wheels and look. So much for ordering parts ahead of time... At least I know front discs are... well, just front discs! Same with the front pads.
