If the brake came with road style levers, it's AFAIK either the HS-66 or the HS-77.
Further, AFAIK the levers and calipers of the rim brakes are compatible only with other rim brakes. E.g. HS-33 with HS-66.

I found this on Magura's forum (under magura.com > service > forum)

A disc brake that is actuated with a HS 33 master becomes a closed system WITHOUT the absolutely necessary expansion chamber (reservoir). Result: a blocked brake all of a sudden with potential serious consequences for the user.
To make it short: let it be if your health is important to you...
