Default 2008 Jag XKR - What type of caliper?

2008 Jaguar XKR
Went to buy front brake pads and rotor from Autozone and they wanted to know what kind of Calipers does the car have? I am a novice. Either Alcon or ATE. Any ideas from experts. Thanks

Easy to check, just look at the fronts. Do you have Six Piston calipers and possibly little crescents cut into the rotors??? Alcons!
Do you have two-piston rotors (one inside, one outside)? NON-Alcons!

Thanks. I looked up on google Alcon and ATE Caliper pictures and compared to the caliper on car and it is ATE. Thanks for your suggestion. Very helpful.
