hello , very very late reply, but these are front uprights from a french citroen CX car;
if you want to use them , the seals on the brakeparts need to be replaced , because designed for natural citroen suspension liquid lmh.

so the calliper is cast into the upright and has the steering tie rod joint integral with the calliper/upright/knuckle?

very unique way of doing it. never seen anything like it.

I'm guessing they are rear steer, otherwise the Ackerman will be a bit funny.

is it missing parts that would have been for a front wheel hand brake/emergency brake? seems odd that there is the provision next to the calliper with the cut out.

indeed the front 4 piston caliper is provided with a small mechanical system to provide the handbrake function on the front wheels with round disc brake pads 2 inch diameter.
for his time very fast comfort car with hydraulic self leveling suspension.

this was the follow-up from the famous Citroen DS family
