Thanks

They used to be remanufactured, until 2016.   Now they are new, branded Caterham.    They look identical to the Ford remanufactured unit to me apart from additonal clearance has been added to the back of the caplier so it dosn't touch the radius arm. 

If you look carefully at the first photo you can see the branding.

PS These calipers are a pain in the arse, for some reason the hex on the slider pin is smaller than before, which means as you fit the caliper onto the carrier the spanner (I have always used) gets jammed before the caliper is secure.   I don't like taking angle grinders to perfectly good tools, so a special slim fit spanner was ordered to complete the job.
