E350 Super Duty?

I have a 1996 E350 Club Wagon Chateau that needs a new brake master cylinder. I bought a replacement from Auto Zone that looked identical to the one I removed. But when I put it in the van realized that the ports for the brake lines were the reverse from the stock mc. My stock mc has a large port in the front (towards the grill) and a small port in the back. I returned the mc and while I was there they said I had a Super Duty. My van has nothing on it to indicate that it is a Super Duty. How can I tell if I do have a Super Duty?
Thank You

Generally.......the "Super Duty" is just a "Tag" on "Heavy Duty".

What would really tell you on the vehicle is the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight).

If the MC you got was rated for X GVW, and your van is XX GVW, that's the difference for the MC that you needed.

Check on the door label what the GVW of the van really is.

Thanks I'll try that. I used this site's VIN decoder, today, and it says my van is an F350 Club Wagon HD.

I ran into the same thing with my E250. Some things are SD and some are not.
Even Ford dealer couldn't help me.

I did find this site.

I'm pretty sure all 1996 Super Dutys had dual rear wheels and 14,050# GVW. Pretty much a completely different animal than any E350.
