1972 99 Brake Headaches

I acquired a 1972 99 recently and while trying to rebuild the brakes I discovered that it was impossible to get a repair kit for the rear calipers.
I also have a 1977 99 with good brakes that I was thinking of transplanting into the 1972 model. The rear calipers look like they will swap straight over and apparently the whole front suspension/brakes will also swap.
The problem I have is that the master cylinder mounts are different and the larger 77 booster will not fit. Is it safe to use the 72 master cylinder and booster with the 77 front and rear calipers?
Both cars are Australian models so are RHD.
Any suggestions/cautions would be appreciated.
David
