They're different - AU2 have slightly larger callipers and discs. Bendix part numbers for rear brakes are:
AU1 - DB1086 (same as EF/EL)
AU2 - DB1376 (same as BA, BF, FG)

As usual, great input from JC!

It will indeed be a sad day when JC buys a daily driver for himself that isn't an AU.

LOL, thanks GK.

When will that happen though? If i could just find a V8 fairmont AU wagon, I'd be happy, I reckon.

I just had a look on Carsales and alas couldn't find one. Perhaps I should do that V8 conversion Ragtop keeps mentioning and then sell it to you.

Shame my wagon's not a Fairmont though! LOL!

AU1 and AU2/3 live axe cars both use an identical single piston PBR 'Collete' sliding caliper. The rear brake rotor diameters for all AUs are 287 mm (same as the front rotor diameter) with the Series 2/3 models using a slightly thicker solid rotor - difference of about 5-6mm over the Series 1/EF/EL spec - and hence the different B Series type pad as JC has pointed out.

Atmo I6 BA-FG cars use the same caliper and similar pad specifiction with a larger diameter rotor (303mm).

Hope this all helps...
