    Looks to be e twin piston caliper, which would make it 87/88, different fork internals, wheel and rotor.

    Yes 87/88 WR forks. I have a set of new to me 87 XC forks apart now for a complete rebuild before I install them on my 83. Post photos of the damping rods and stanchion tubes to determine if they are 87 or 88. I believe the 88's have additional holes in the stanchion tubes.

    I'm no expert on this but the stanchion tubes look like 87. I believe the 88 has more holes in it. Maybe someone else can confirm.
