Default Rear C5 Calipers?

I was just curious to see if my 4th gen Formula has C5 rear calipers. I know I have C5 fronts, but I was also told that the rears are C5s as well. Anyways, I found some casting numbers on the actual caliper in hopes that they'd answer my question.

Anyways, I found these casting numbers.

4.261.444
D-732
K242-011C

And obvously PBR is on the caliper as well. Also, these are red, so I'd think if they're C5, I'd think that they're C5 ZO6 calipers.

I found these number on the caliper and brake pad. I belive the D-732 was on the brake pad.

Any help would be great. Thanks

I just ordered Z06 calipers for my C5. The patent number 4.261.444 matches. So, I'd say those are indeed Z06 parts.

The only difference between the red C5 Z06 calipers and the regular ones is the red paint.......

That's what I thought. But, I just wanted to know if they were calipers for a Fbody or a C5. That way I will know what brake pads to order when I need new ones.

Thanks guys.
