Factory disc brakes on a '67 442

How do you distinguish between factory disc brakes and a conversion? I have a build sheet for my 67 but cannot read all of the print, I have been told that the factory have twin pistons. Is there markings on the calipers if they are factory?

The factory brakes are FOUR piston (two per caliper half) and are fixed. Most aftermarket kits use the 1969-up single piston sliding calipers. They look completely different. Keep in mind that repros of the four piston calipers are now available.
