which brembo calipers/ rotors do i have?

I remember reading a thread stating that US and EUROPE Brembo GT kits use different calipers and rotors. I bought my kit used and want to confirm which version I have in order to order replacement pads for the track.

here are my pics, hope someone can help me out here. I know it's either M or N family calipers and 32mm or 34mm thickness rotors:

Different Bell and Hardware kit.
Larger inner rotor diameter, smaller pad shape.

It s a 32mm rotor. I have a few pads here for my brake, what compound you are looking for? I also have a set of OEM brembo pads here, since I did Not need them because I swapped to Endless pads.
