There were two versions of calipers used for the 964 over the model life the early cars had raised lettering and the later used decals. You must have had a caliper replaced at some point in its life.

You can remove the raised lettering and use the decal to make them match they are the same otherwise.

Cool. Thanks for the reply. Good to know they are the same brake and not some inferior add on. I know you didn't like the duplicolir but man that first brake came out really well. It does seem to self level if you put on the second coat before it gets too tacky ( 10-15 min max). Basically go over the entire brake and when your done it's time for another coat.
