Talking 1984 Caprice Classic Rotor Sizes Help!

Just picked up this 1984 Caprice Classic right here, Shes in great shape for her age but I will need to replace rotors and pads. The car is gonna be towed to me at the end of the week but I wanna get a jump on it and order some rotors and pads, but using the VIN ( VIN: 2G1AN69H6E9196095) I can't seem to get the correct size of rotors as there are a few different options.

whats throwing me is I see (Front; w/11" Rear Brakes; 2 Req.) and Front; w/9 1/2" x 2" Rear Brakes; 2 Req)

to me it wouldnt seem like it mattered what size rear brakes I had.

yeah the rear will be touchy, there is three different ones. one for the 9.5" and two that are almost 13" and 14". since its the sedan i would think it was the smaller. the way it works is if your front brakes are a lower weight rating then the rear should be also.....but then they should just ask what size front brakes for the front then what size rear brakes for the rear.
