All calipers went in front until 1978 when they put them behind on the Z1000A2 :D

Not necessarily - you can swap them over and turn them round, which people frequently did as they look better on the back. How many bolt holes have your discs?

If the calipers are at the rear of the forks and the old front mudguard mount at the bottom is also at the rear then you have Z1000A2 forks.
