They look like the AUSTIN PRINCESS 4 POTS, were also used on ROVER SD1(some), and most police spec Rovers(sd1).
Are the pads relaly loose then ?

looks like a godspedd kit which uses spaced out volvo calipers.
all you should need are the anti rattle clips, take one of the pads to your local motor factors & get them to match the pad, this will tell u which fitting kit u need. think they were from a volvo 240 iirc

no they are not calipers off any particular car i dont think
my top pics shows the rear of the caliper
and the second pic shows the front of the caliper
the brake pipe attaches to the caliper between the rear pistons
and they have only one bleed nipple per caliper
on the front of the caliper it has a enblem simlar to a brembo one but not the same
some one help please

I'm 99% certain theyare a goodspeed conversion which uses a modified volvo caliper. as I said before take a brake pad to a motor factors & match it up in their application book
