Default caliper question...

I have a 93 EX, and sometimes when I look for rotors, it says
"1990-1997 Honda Accord, Sedan, With Akebono Caliper
1990-1997 Honda Accord, Sedan, With Nissin Caliper"

so my question, how do I know which caliper I have? is it literally written on the caliper? or is one of them an "upgrade option"? Thanks

Also be careful with the pads for some reason they seem to change pad shape from year to year for example if I order pads for a 93 honda accord they will fit my 90 accord, but will be slightly different.

Also watch out for distrubtor caps. My dad bought one for my car, but when he showed it to me, it had an external coil. I need one with an internal coil. This is also a problem with JDM engines, since they are external coil.
