Default whats the difference, technical

hi all,
my rear left caliper is seizing on on my 2005 ford mondeo 2.2tdci st , looking to purchase one but have came up with this

FORD MONDEO Mk III Saloon (B4Y) New Generation Brake Caliper Rear Axle Left (Fits: Ford Mondeo 2005 [MK III] 2.2 TDCi)
shop: YouWantWeHave
Seller user ID: youwantwehave

FORD MONDEO Mk III (B5Y) New Generation Brake Caliper Rear Axle Right (Fits: Ford Mondeo 2005 [MK III] 2.2 TDCi)
Shop: YouWantWeHave
Seller user ID: youwantwehave

if you notice the BY5 i have seen BY4 as well, what the difference or meaning ?

mondeo mk3 calipers are all the same on the fronts, on the rears the hatch and saloon ones are the same but the estate ones are different and won't work

nothing changed on them for the production run

I bought a cheap ebay one for my old mk3 and it seized up again in less than a year. Bought a better quality one from a motor factors and it was spot on.

Think matt lewis is on holiday at e moment but he got me one for about Ł50

Before you condemn the calliper though make sure it's not the cable that's seizing up as they are prone to problems
