You can do anything you want, but you need to swap all assembly with brackets

the caliper part numbers are the same along with the caliper bracket and brake pads. The rotors are the only thing different.

what assembly are you referring to?

Only MBs - the best or nothing
OP, the calipers of GL550 and GL450(without code P31) are different P/Ns.

The GL550 (all 550s are equipped with 375x36 front rotors) front Calipers P/Ns are as follows:
LEFT p/n 166-421-03-81 (166421038128) and requires 375mm rotors
RIGHT p/n 166-421-04-81 (166421048128) and requires 375mm rotors
and the Brake Carriers(Brackets) p/n 166-421-02-06 (1664211200) for both left&right sides.

GL450s without code P31 (I assume this is what you have hence desire to upgrade) use 350x32 rotors with different calipers.
