Caliper id

Can anyone tell me what these calipers might be from

2 piece setup

They were on a 71 duster with a 440 in it with fenderwells.

They look like Corvette calipers, but we're unsure.
Didn't know 1 half was fed by external brake pipe from other half (see 1st pic) We can't find any "GM" markings, and the only "part number" is unclear. Looks like 71818.
Could be e type caliper or similar.
Could be part of a kit? as the calipers bolt on nice and close but am unsure of the spindle / bracket thing it's bolted too.
Never seen anything like this but then it's on an A body and I'm only used to B Bods

I thought the A Bod set-up was different to a B Body (as in size of parts being smaller... spindles etc.)

Just thought someone on here might recognise the car and know something about it / it's set up etc.

Theres a few photos for you to view ta.

Any help appreciated thankyou

Are you sure they aren't standard 4 piston Kelsey hayes ?

Wil is correct. They are 4 piston Kelsey Hayes which were fitted to 60s Mopars and later replaced with single piston pin types which were themselves replaced fron the mid 70s with single piston slider types.

You can get rebiuld kits for them but if your stuck for pistons the one for a 1981 Range Rover rear calipers fit thats what I have in mine but you have to use the kelsey hayes seals or send them to have stainless pistons put in
