Is there not a part number on them? Single pot calipers all look terribly alike

Yes they are 4x4 front calipers. But are also the same as many other calipers fitted to other cars.

The way to tell is by looking at the hole in the caliper. The shape of it gives away what it is.

The calipers have differenet markings depending on what car they came off.

The best way to tell is as above.
