The full size cars used rotors that were 1.25" thick, the A/F/X-body cars used rotors that were 1" thick. The calipers for full size are wider as a result. The casting numbers on the calipers are not part numbers and won't show up in the parts book, unfortunately.

For the few miles I put on my 68, I'm ok with keeping drums up front. And my 2 other 68 4-speeds are drum too.
Not sure there are many purists looking for specific casting numbers or not.
If I make it to homecoming, I might just try and sell all brake pieces as one lot.

I just took a look at the calipers they were not buried. These were for 1967 full size with disc brakes. The one I was able to get to had casting number 5456008. So I don't think yours are full size or at least don't have the same casting number.
Also in the space between the two cast halfs (where the pads slip in) in the center from inner to outer of the cast sections it measures 2 9/16" wide.
