That's a 993 front, originally it was black or silver.

it is a bit smaller in the radial direction from a 993t/RS 'Big Red and is designed for a smaller 304x32mm rotor than is used by the 993RS/tt 322x32mm

The pictice in Kevins post is a 964RS/t which uses the same pad as the 993 but also uses a 322x32mm rotor. The difference between the 993 and 964RS is seen in the mounting bases, note the extra height in the 964RS
Here


vs the mounting height here in the 993


All 3 use the same 36/44 pistons, the #s the seller came up w/ are not the piston sizes but are likely the clips for the pad spyders
