I'm prepared to believe you, if you tell me what PBC really stands for?

They probably do now, but they didn't all have them when the 411s were made. The Girling parts list however, says that the versions of their front caliper used by Bristol did include them, along with anti squeal grease.

They were also three pot calipers, not four pot, which means bkz411 doesn't have the same brakes as originally fitted to the 411.
