They will all interchange except for very late Type 3 calipers, they have a different bolt spacing and use a thicker disc.

Any other calipers interchangable with the bug caliper?
I read somewhere about Talbot? (Is Talbot English for something Australian?).

Hi
As already said all Beetle and early Type 3 callipers are interchangeable. They are all slightly different.
1500 Beetles and 1971 supers used a single pin calliper with a square pad.
72 supers used twin pin calliper with a square pad
73, 74 & 75 L bugs and 76 bugs used a single pin calliper with almost round pads
Early Type 3s used a calliper that is almost the same as a the 1972 Super bug calliper, the Type 3 calliper has only one bleed nipple, the 1972 Super
has 2 bleed nipples.
All Beetle callipers use 40 mm pistons, Early Type 3s and the late wider bolt pattern Type 3 / 4 calliper use 42 mm pistons.
I've tried to get Talbot Horizon callipers but I've had no luck
Steve
This is what the pads look like
