Default Rear brakes from an XJ40 - do they fit?

I'm trying to find out if the 278mm solid disks and matching calipers are a bolt on swap onto an X308. The rear suspension looks to be the same as the X300, which shares its brakes with the later car, so I'm hopeful but hoped someone may be able to confirm how similar they are, or if there are any reasons why it definitely wont work.

Before this gets derailed, yes I'm aware they are smaller, will exert less braking effort, have less heat capacity and all the other trade offs. I'm only concerned whether they will physically fit.

Thanks

Thanks for the offer, however the Atlantic is a geographical inconvenience! It's a pity as they're rare over here!
