79 911 SC - What are these Front brakes

Hi,
I've been told the front brakes are from a different model. Trying to identify what model they are from so I can get the right parts to service. I have a slight grind noise when warm and turning a corner. If I tap the brakes the noise goes away. Is worse on hot days. Have been told it may be a missing retaining pin or the pad might need to be replaced ?

Thanks in advance for any assistance

Cheers,

Thanks John. Much appreciated.

Bought the pads and discovered my issue with the noise on drivers front.

One piston seized.

Had different pads on either side. I'm guessing they threw in a pad worn enough to fit the gap where the piston was seized.

... just when you think it's a quick job ;-)
