Default Rear disc brake identification

I've got my rear disc brake swap in the mail. Basically, I have the complete trailing arm assemblies from ...something. The guy I bought from through the Honda-Tech marketplace had a decent vouch thread and apparently has a garage going as well as a part business. He told me this swap would fit my car, but he's awful at communication. I don't know what car these actually came from. How can I find out? Are there identifying marks anywhere on the trailing arms or calipers or somewhere?

I'm no expert, of course, but these look to be in good shape. I'm cleaning them up a bit and don't see any damage to anything, not even the metal shrouds covering the back side. Brake lines look good, calipers look good, even the brake pads have plenty of life left. The rubber parts on the caliper and on the ebrake cables are intact, everything looks like it works. I feel confident that I could bolt them up tomorrow and drive on them. But still, I'd like to know exactly what I'm swapping on.

Thread is over, found out that they're from a 2000 Si. lol.

And, I paid $305 shipped for the complete swap with the correct 40/40 proportioning valve.

There were marks on the caliper that told me a type. I searched Honda-Tech for that type and learned they came from the 99-00 Si, CRX Si, and 90-01 Integra. Any would have worked, but then the seller finally got back to me and let me know the donor car was a totalled 2000 Civic Si.
