Are the front calipers the same as the HORIZON?

There are a couple of new Horizon front calipers on fleabay.  Will they fit a 2.2 murena?

Mine work okay but I am always on the lookout for new parts - just in case!

To the best of my knowledge  a Murena uses Talbot Solara calibers.. weather these are similar to the Horison I don't know.

The Horizon has three diffrent kinds of front calipers - Lucas/Girling, ATE/Teves or Bendix.
As far as I know, the Murena has either ATE/Teves or Bendix front calipers. None of the brake pads for the Horizon are the same as any brake pads for the Murena.
Talbot Alpine 1980-85, Talbot Escorial, Simca 1510, Talbot Solara, Sunbeam Minx and Sunbeam Rapier with ATE/Teves calipers use the same front brake pads as the Murena.
Talbot Alpine 1979-80, Simca 1300 1979 and  Simca Alpine 1978-83 with Bendix calipers use the same front brake pads as The Murena
