Roger,
I'm not sure why only the rears would be different, although front and rear lines can differ by design so as to not confuse them. I could understand if the brake line set was supplied in 3/16 SAE from the US for use with a brake upgrade kit whereas the stock Pantera uses a 4.75mm dia. tubing and ISO bubble flares.
If you can work out what threads you have on the caliper and the lines, then adapters are readily available.
