Identifying big brake kit

I am in need of new break pads, but I can’t figure out what brand of big brake kit I have to get the size of pads I need as there is no branding or anything, I think they were painted over. I’ve looked online but haven’t found anything yet, anybody by chance know what brand it is?

I don't know what I'm looking at, front or rear. Could be FD rear caliper maybe?

to help narrow it down, that's definitely not a rear fd caliper. if there are no adapter brackets then you likely don't have an aftermarket kit considering every one I've ever seen ever are not cast like that. what you have there is likely from another car. just do some googling and see what stock calipers can be bolted to an fc

I came across this picture, its from a video "fd rear caliper rebuild". It looked similar hence the guess.

But again, I don't know what I'm looking at. FC has had single piston calipers at front but never seen them personally.
