Changes such as that normally go by chassis number.
It's always advisable to change brake bits on a per-axle basis - in
emergency, you can get away with changing things on one side only, but it
often leaves you with unbalanced brakes.
Generally, a tight piston is most likely to be something under the seal
causing it to not seat fully, and/or a dud piston, which is less likely in
your case.
Paddock's list has the following:
RTC5889 Rear Brake Caliper (New) - RH - to 38S44171D and 32S2118B
(approx March 1993) 46.50
RTC5890 Rear Brake Caliper (New) - LH - to 38S44171D and 32S2118B
(approx March 1993) 46.50
STC1264 Rear Brake Caliper (New) - RH - from 38S44172D and 32S2119B
(approx March 1993) 41.50
STC1265 Rear Brake Caliper (New) - LH - from 38S44172D and 32S2119B
(approx March 1993) 41.50
Those numbers look like axle numbers, at a guess, which would go with the
approximate dates. You're going to have to try and find the number, unless
it's possible to tell by looking at the caliper. Your disco is *probably*
the STCnnnn type, but not guaranteed to be.
Oddly, the front calipers are listed by VIN, not axle number.
