Default Brake Caliper Type ??

Hi to all,
As always a very big thank you in advance for any/all advice and information received.It is very much appreciated.
Now to my question :
Would someone kindly advise me as to the correct type of brake caliper a on my Daimler Super V8 please ? I suspect that they are standard XJ8 calipers as the vehicle is closely based on the XJ8 (X308) model but I know that brembo calipers were fitted to some supercharged vehicles but I thought that they were only fitted to the XJR models. Confused !!!

I doubt if you have Brembos, but post a pic and we can tell you for sure.

The brembos are huge, and only fit under the R performance wheels


the standard brakes are smaller, and single pot, so there is very little on the outside
this is the best image I could find
