SO, I did some more research on the parts, the Versailes rear discs are 10.675" in diameter. The ones I have are 11.5" in diameter. Looking at the specs for the 1977 Mark V, those have the 11.5" brakes with larger calipers.

thanks for the info on the calipers! I just didn't realize the difference, and almost ordered the wrong ones also!
