What type of caliper is this?

I'm trying to figure out which type of caliper I have. It was extracted from a 1980 SC but I don't know the history on the vehicle to be confident this was a stock caliper.

Any ideas?

P.S. yes, I was messing around with new blast media on one side :-)

If it came off the front, If it came off the back it's an M

A difference between a & M is the pads width and th mounting hole OC spec.

an A has 3.5" OC mounting holes and an M has 3" OC mounting holes
