IIRC, the ZF-style pump use a bolt-on backing plate and the non-ZF pumps use a snap ring retainer on the backing plates. Look at the back of your power steering pump and see if the backing plate is retained by bolts or is retained by a large snap ring. The ZF pump is the top pic and the non-ZF pump is the bottom pic.
