2008 XK Front Discs

This will sound like a stupid question but please bear with me. I need to replace the front discs on my 2008MY XK. I’ve got prices from a local parts supplier who deals in Euro parts for 326mm discs but my mechanic says there were two different calliper sets used on my vehicle (they’re not a Jaguar specialist) so to check I’ve got the correct discs.
The issue is I’ve recently ruptured my Achilles tendon so I’m stuck on crutches and getting the wheel off the measure the disc will be difficult at best.
So my question, is my mechanic full of bull and the 326mm is std for all base XK models? Or, is there another way I can check other than trying to get down on my knees and physically measuring?
Thanks all, any advice appreciated!

Off the top of my head for 2007-2009 Front
326mm disc / floating caliper - xk
355mm disc / floating caliper xkr
400mm disc / 6 piston caliper (Alcon) optional on xkr & standard on portfolio/xkrs
Whilst the xk & xkr both have a floating caliper the calipers are different
