They might be different. 8,4 hubs are bigger on the OD of the bearing carrier. This means 60ies and 70ies 7,5 brake discs won't fit on a80ies 8,4" hub. Honest.
New Minispares discs are bigger on the ID to fit over 8,4" hubs.

As V points out - the geometry is all the same, but the 'outside' of the S-hubs is fully machined a slightly smaller diameter than the 8.4" hubs.

Most of the time they fit straight on however with no issues.

Oh you could. If you remove the disc you can easily put your finger on it!
