Pillars - is the front one (windscreen) A-pillar, middle B-pillar, and so on?
Thanks.

You're correct about the pillar nomenclature. A-pillars are the windscreen ones; B-Pillars are at the back of the front doors; C-Pillars are where the back doors latch on a four-door vehicles and the D-pillars surround the tailgate.
The photo is of a Girling caliper, as LS has stated. The ATE calipers use a pin with a rotating collar that corrodes into the fixing hole in the caliper and will only go in in one direction (and probably never come back out). (Speaks the voice of experience from then Exxo Valdez.)
