IIRC, the difference is the thickness of the rotors. JB5 is .25 thicker to the best of my knowledge. As far as diameter, I think they are the same and also use the same pads.

Maybe someone else can confirm. :shrug:

For purpose of getting parts, you should be able to measure the diameter of the rotor and the thickness. Of course the thickness could be off a bit due to being turned, but you should still be able to figure out if you have a 1 in or 1.25 in thick rotor.
