I don't know about the carriers but those look like the R32/S3/R rear calipers. I fitted those in my Eddy, you can look at the pictures in my project build. :smiley:

The shape/design is very similar, they're all from TRW. They're bigger to support thicker and vented discs. :smiley:

As discussed on the FB group without the knobbly but looks like they are from an Audi A3 3.2
