Cortina Mk?

I've recently bought an abandoned Lowcost project - basically a rolling chassis with trial fitted engine and box plus a pile of bits. The front hubs are Cortina, but how do I tell which Mark? Clues for those who know these things- the nuts and bolts appear to be metric, the calipers are two piston type, the pads are rectangular and are retained by long thin pins held by small R clips and there are short steel brake pipes from the calipers to metal brackets fixed to the caliper bolts which then connect to the flexibles. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Mark 3, 4 and 5 hubs are all identical and fit the description you gave.

It is very unlikely that the are off a mark 1 or two as I think they used McPherson struts and so wouldn't be suitable at all.
