Front brake calipers

Hello All,
I have a 2012 L322 4.4 TDV8 and intend to change the disc pads, there seems to be various types of caliper fitted at different years.
I have seen some fitted with Brembo calipers which have the name "Brembo" cast into the outward facing side of the casting and coloured red, mine appear similar but have "Land Rover" cast into this face instead with plain alloy colouring, are they both Brembo or is there a difference between them?
I have been recommended to use EBC Green Stuff DP62064 front and DP62068 rear, does anyone know if this is the correct fitment? I seem to have to use a lot of pedal force to get reasonable braking (much more than on my LWB 110) I had new discs and pads (unknown make) fitted about 8 months ago and was expecting them to improve with bedding, but not so.
Any info would be a great help before I order the wrong pads.

There are 2 types of Brembo calipers. 4 pot and 6 pot.

The 4 pots have brembo embossed on them generally.

As a 2012 you have the 6 pot Brembo calipers which tend to be left grey which is how they came. So there is a difference.

The numbers you list do correspond with the EBC brake shop web page for your 2012 TDV8 4.4. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

When was your brake fluid last changed? That can make a difference to pedal feel if it's old and has absorbed a lot of water..

You can buy a tester if you're not sure... Thumbs Up Pete
