Default Mk4 Orion info needed

Does anyone know if ford ever made an Orion with rear discs as standard or even if was they available as an option, the reason is that my mate took some off an Orion that he says was all standard and recons that they are stamped with ford on them and he swears that they were off a one owner car that he new the owner and the owner never had anything like that done, he now needs to get wheel bearings but can't find any part numbers.
Any help would be appreciated

As in Orion Mk2 (same shape as MK4 Escort)? If so non of that shape had rear discs fitted fitted.
Mk3 Orion (same shape as Mk5 Escort) had rear discs when the car was fitted with the 1.8 130ps Zetec engine. They had a separate handbrake shoes that worked inside a drum that is part of the rear disc (like some Vauxhalls and Subarus do!).....

That's probably it cause he did say he needs shoes for them as well, maybe someone did fit them to the mk2 Orion (mk4 escort shape), he got them from ,he's pretty knowlageable and he wouldn't have confused what shape he unbolted them from.
Thanks for all your help guys.
