Wish I could help you Johan.. The rears look familiar but the fronts are another matter.

Look pretty similar to the AP brakes that are used on
Rover SD1
Austin Princess
and others

Johan:
That clip on the front looks like AP. If the are AP the should have some numbers etched on the castings some place on the underside or near the bores. AP numbers always begin with CP and then a series of 4 numbers and a dash followed by numbers and letters. Feel free to ask will help if I can. Dave

Pretty sure they're princess calipers

The fronts are not Princess Calipers, I have a set of those in the junk box and just had a look, the princess calipers have 2 hydraulic hose entrys and the bleed nipples are between the pistons.
They could be Jaguar as JacMac suggested, as the Jag IRS had solid rear discs. The other thing the rears could be is Renault 5 or Fiat 12x series as they too had solid discs.

Bespoke Autokraft rotors, see Steve at Brooklands for spares. The calipers are BMW/ATE front and Puegot rear.
The fronts look like XJ6 brakes/calipers:
1983 Jaguar XJ6 Brake Calipers | Drivewire.com
The rears, not so sure.

Front calibers looks very much 2wd cossie ones, but they are propably from bimmer (in -87 M6 i saw those when i built one), there is small diffirencies in caliber casting.
Self locking pad rods and squeel spring are similare as cossies.
