Definitely non-standard; I've never seen ATE calipers on a 240 though they were fitted. The build plate should indicate what type of calipers were originally fitted but it's probable that someone has retro-fitted "whatever was lying around inthe shed".
Unlike the early Morris Marina 1.3 I heard about. The car came in for its 500-mile service and the two lads working on it were adjusting the front drum brakes; except the car had a drum on one side and a disc on the other side. Quoth the owner "I wondered why it pulled every time I braked!"
