Default what are these nissin calipers doing on my '90 hatch???

i just bought a hatch off my friend, his friend who sold it to him decided to put aftermarket calipers and pads on the car. it now has si rear brakes (it is a dx) braided lines and nissin calipers all around. this was good for me so i dont have to do it now, but i am having trouble finding pads that fit these calipers.

i wondering where the hell these calipers came from, are they off an siR or are they aftermarket? the pads are nissin too, i went to the local shop and ordered nissin pads made by aem, they even had the same part number but when they came they were different sized, so i had to cut the ears off the new ones and grind them down.

so if i cant find out where to get pads i am going to buy stock calipers and switch them out.
if you know what these calipers are please help!

thanks1

the stock calipers are Nissin. Atleast for the 5 gen civics they are. Maybe he swap 5th gen civic brakes in.

Well, Nissin is just a big contract parts company... kinda like Nippon Denso, the electronics company, and Mitsubishi. They could have come from anything... maybe they are G2 Integra calipers, that's a common swap.
