Same brake (Girling M16) but I don't know about the upright.
I think the Capri used Macpherson struts on the front whilst the Cortina had a twin wishbone arrangement.

I believe, but could be wrong, that the capri 2.8 used vented disks (but the other models were solid), and that if you get the disks and calipers
they'll bolt onto the cortina uprights.
Nice if you can get your hands on them.
But yes, I think they're mcpherson struts.
