Yes that's the real giveaway. The Cooper S/GT flange is held to the disc by small countersunk Pozidrive screws rather than the large hex head bolts used in the 8.4 flange. The S/GT wheel studs are set into the disc itself and just run through the flange whereas the 8.4" studs are set in the flange. This way you can tell whether it's a real 7.5" set or a machined down 8.4" (which do exist for use with some alloy caliper sets).
