Its always nice to introduce oneself, year make of car, (Pictures of car) location, ect on their first post. At any rate, welcome to the forum, there is a wealth of information here, unfortunately I'm not familiar with those calipers but I'm sure someone here probably is.

Those appear to be narrow M front calipers. With the dual bleed nipples and hex head bolts, quite possibly 42mm pistons for 73 and up 914.

Looks to be from a 914

Late model 914 front calipers. Dual bleeders and 11mm hex heads n M7 fasteners. 42mm pistons. Same casting as the 911 rear M-Caliper but the fluid inlet is tapped on the rear vs. the side.

If they are on the rear of a 911 or a 914, your rear bias is now heavy and thats the absolute worst place to have a heavy bias. Front? Ok. Rear on a rear or mid-engined car? Bad news.
