Please help me identify these front disc brakes

I've got a couple questions about my front brakes. They were on the Mini when I bought it but I can't seem to identify them from either the Haynes manual or the Leyland Workshop manual. Can someone confidently identify them? See attached pictures.

The rotor measures roughly 8-1/4" (so maybe they're 8.4 metro brakes?). I need to get the rotors turned and get a fresh set of pads. Anyone know if an auto parts store will be able to turn these rotors?

Thanks for the help,
Jeff

You should be able to find a shop to turn them but be sure they know the Minimum thickness:

I think I figured out that they're Metro/Turbo 8.4" 4-pot calipers. I checked the current rotor thickness - 10mm, so I should have little trouble getting them turned and still be within tolerance. Now I just need to disassemble to get them to get turned.
