Short answer - unlikely. Longer Answer - remove one set of pads & take them to your parts supplier. In the back of the Bendix brake pad & shoe listing is a shadow board type illustration of all available profiles. In fact I think I have seen it on the Bendix website. Your old pads can be matched by shape & other features to an appropriate part number.
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..

86 Alto has the same brake calipers/pads as an MB.
(I wouldn't be surprised if the EBC catalogue has a typo and the pads are for a 96 model though.)

It says 86/96 alto so should fit the mb?

That makes me think the catalogue is wrong. 96 Alto brakes are completely different to 86.
96 is the same as a Swift, which is probably why EBC have a listing.

Standard Mighty boy pads are known as a db208 down here in AUS. Those pads are found in Mighty Boy's, Hatches of the same age & some early 80's Honda Civic's. I can't recall any other car's that use the same pad or caliper.

If your looking for green stuff pads, you need to ask them if they do them in a db208 pad. That will then give you an answer if they do green stuff pads.

Cheers
