Front brake calipers (manufacturer)

[Yzfr1]

Hi all,
My front calipers are crusty to say the least. I can't make out the manufacturer of the caliper due to corrosion and was wondering if anyone knew who makes them.
I have been looking at Auto Doc to purchase 2 new calipers that I will paint before fitting with a set of Brembo discs and pads I've has sitting for best part of 2 years.
There are loads to choose from on the site, does any one know which ones should be avoided?
Cheers

I think they’d be made by TRW. Have a look at some of the painted ones - you’ll likely be able to see if they look the same.

I know @Loz has had 4 calipers painted, maybe his costs were cheaper?
Worth a poke to ask him, maybe?
