Anyone recognize this brake setup? Found a pair of mopar disc brake assemblies in the shed and forgot where I got them from. Its been a few years. The rotors are 11.75"

I should have offered more detail: The caliper mentioned in previous post is a 4-piston design; definately not the one piston design I meant to use. I do not intend to reuse the 4 piston caliper, but was hoping the spindle is suitable for single caliper brake upgrades on one of my other mopars (69 cuda, or 69 coronet rt).
More brake problems: the slider caliper setup I am using (73-76 a body) for the brake upgrade on the road runner has encountered a problem: I keep getting hose that doesn't seem to work. See picture below: supplied brake hose w/banjo bolt is mounted to caliper, which is just sitting on the caliper adapter for purposes of photo. The hose is too short to reach the location of existing brake hose (attached to car frame just below rear portion of newly installed upper a arm). Plus, the hose end is does not match the existing hose as it mounts here. Should I have asked for brake hose for a B body car? The hose in question is NAPA PN 36755; a hose obtained by local Shucks dealer last week (part number not considered important at the time) also did not fit, same situation.

As far as the hoses go, are you sure you have the spindles on the correct sides of the car? If you take the spindles with the brakes off the ball joints and swap them side for side, the hose fitting for the brake should be on the same side of the spindle as the hose fitting on the frame. I put late Dart brakes on my 70 Road Runner this way. I used hoses from a 73 Runner, I think.

Ive been stupid. Or maybe it was the several Fransiskaner hefeweisen I was enjoying while working on the car. Damn those are good. Anyway, the calipers are on the correct side of the car, but I was installing the hose/banjo bolt assembly backwards. Meaning, the banjo bolted end of the hose (caliper side) can go on one of two directions - the correct way, which allows the hose to reach the frame side connection, and the incorrect way (180 degrees rotated), which makes the hose appear too short.
