What kind of Porsche Racing calipers are these?

I need to order new bleeder valves for these calipers and want to verify that I know what they are. They are labeled Porsche Motorsport and I believe they are 993 era, but they are installed on a 964 RSR.

They are huge. This iPad picture does them no justice. No matter what they are, if people can give me insight as to what bleeder valves will fit I appreciate it. Mine haven't been bled in 7 years and the bleeders are...well...not willingly coming out.

Those look like an endurance racing version of the big reds. 380mm disks, very thick pads the same shape as big reds?

I have a set someplace. I'd see if the bleeder valves from big reds, etc would fit.

Yes, very thick pads.

If so, anyone know a source for bleeders for them? Are they the same bleeders as other 993 calipers?

The caliper is a plain old Big Red only black, the black versions were used on 928GTS and some of the '90s race cars.

They use the same bleeds as all the other Porsche Brembo calipers the thread is 10x1.0
