Boxster Brake Calipers?

So, I am at the end of a build of a 1971 VW Camper van with a 3.2 911 engine (PMO carbs etc etc

We have built front and rear ends to use Boxster brakes and all fits and works but now I want to rebuild the calipers.

A few years ago when I was collecting parts I bought a set of Boxster S brakes which were too big to fit inside the wheels so then bought what I thought were Boxster (non-S) calipers that fit.

I am trying to figure what model of calipers they are so I can order rebuild kits. The part numbers on the calipers do not seem to be porsche part numbers (maybe Brembo?). When I search for part numbers they dont quite line up?

What I do know is the following:

Piston sizes:
Fronts
39.9
35.9
Rears
29.9
27.8

And here are some pics. Can anyone identify them and if possible, let me know good places to get rebuild parts?

Thanks, that makes sense, any ideas on the rears as that is the part number I am more confused about?

So, I have all the parts on order - I think. Do these calipers require anti vibration shims?
