not FRS ones, look like fiat coupe 20v ones due to fitting position on the rear for brake hose.
i have some of the fiat and frs ones on my workbench and i'll get some measurements for you to find out what they are if they're like the fiat ones.

frs and fiat ones have a distance of 130mm between centres of mounting bolt holes.
they both use same pads and fit the same sized discs...just

ish...
if the distance between mounting holes is 130mm, then i'd put money on them being fiat coupe 20v ones, they will fit, i'll know for absolute certain tomorrow though.
main difference is fiat ones are not quite as long and fitting to the rear is different, fine for cosworth brake hoses though as i found out today.

Have you measured the centres between the mounting holes?
Looking again they look way too close in your pics.
I don't think the will mount easily.

they don't look right to be honest, but depends what you are planning to use them for.
you can get any to fit if you try hard enough, just whether it's worth it or not.
