Identify the Brake

Two images are attached.  Please identify the maker of the brake.  Is it ATE or the british maker?  The car is a 1967 230SL.  Manufactured in August of '66.  I want to replace the pads and I can't seem to identify the manufacturer properly.

Mark,
That 'G' on the casting in second picture is for Girling. Should have the earlier type pads.

Yes, Girling of type 17-3, I believe.  I have these and rebuilt them about 18 months ago.  (New: pistons, piston seals, piston boots, pads, rotors, flex brake lines, and wheel bearings)  Let me know if you have any questions.
