OK finally got my arse into gear her and this i think is the definitive answer ? 
The pictures below show a standard Gold line calliper, a stand twin bleed nip[ple black calliper and two sets of standard PO8 pads. One EBC and the other genuine Brembo.
You can see the standard gap in the callipers is approx 26.4mm, the pads are 17.7mm therefore the gap for the disc will be approx 8.7mm. discs are approx 7.5mm
Therefore some of your callipers are pretty well spot on but the Corsa's are actually wider.
Bare in mind a shaved calliper of which none of these are is a 26.5mm shaved to 22mm
In any event the odd callipers are actually your corsa items

Oh now I understand well well that means I got 5 Corsa calipers and one well non unique.. .weird thing is that the standard P08's on the other bikes, RGS and 3C plus the rear one of the old Beemer are all the same as the Corsa. Plus when I buy my pins and pads from Stein Dinse they fit straight into the Corsa, RGS and 3C but not the non unique one.
Anyways not to worry one day will find the missing link oops 6th caliper and will list this one on flea bay under Ducati should get twice as much as if I list under Goldline.

The only pin kits for PO8 stein D carry are these
http://www.stein-dinse.biz/Moto-Guzzi/Brake/Repair-kits/Pin-split-kit-caliper-08::841.html
I have 20 sets of them in stock and all have a 26mm centrre pin.
I also have brand new single nipple callipers in stock which again have a 26mm gap for pads
I think this is a mystery that will be solved by a Laverda aficionado which i most certainly am not
Let me know if you ever solve it

The picture above on your other post shows a 29mm gap ,are you really saying these callipers on you 3c , RGS and BMW also have a 29mm gap ?

I had a go with the vernier caliper, and this is what I found:
Black F08 calipers on the other bikes have a throat measurement of 26.4 mm.
All three gold calipers on the 1000 SFC have a throat measurement of 25.0 mm, and no provision for dust caps. They have teflon coated pistons, and the standard seal kit works fine.
New brake disc thickness 6.8mm
New pads are 9.1mm thick x 2 = 18.2mm
Adds up to 25.0 mm so no clearance possible.
Also, the caliper was about 1mm off centre.
So, I shimmed the caliper mounting 1 mm to centre it, then milled 1 mm off the lining of each pad.
Not sure what they make organic brake linings of, but it stank like dog shit! :-X
The brake works fine now.
Thanks to all for the input!

That pretty much what i find 26mm ish is std for gold and black with the exception of the black shaved light weights which are 22mm, Brets 29mm are a mystery.
