Yes they are different as the stud pattern is different on the Morris 1100 for a start

Last time I was looking for some I was told that you can get the Mini 8.4 inch ones and have them machined down (yes, I know it's sounds odd) to the 1100 size, 8.0 I think but check the old ones for exact diameter, not sure if width is OK or not. I never had it done, but I understand this is the way to go as you would be extremely lucky to get new ones.

Mini disks will bolt up in place of the 1100 ones, it's the drive flange that has the different PCD.

Morris 1100 disc rotors are 8.3" diam, are slightly different, but the bolt pattern for the drive flange is the same as 8.4" rotors

some people have mistakenly used them in place of mini 8.4" mini ones & have found that they need to occasionally chip off the excess brake pad material that overhangs the rotor & obviously isn`t used by the smaller diam rotor over a period of time it bunches up & plays with your head :-)
