1992 Z28 BRAKE CALIPER QUESTION

Does anyone have a picture of the stock front brake calipers on a 1992 Z28 with front and rear disk? When I look for replacements for these the online sites show a finned caliper for Z's with rear disk. I'm not sure if this was for the 1le package or the standard brake system.
Thanks

The caliper in the following pic is what you have unless you have a 1LE set-up:

The 1LE caliper is much different:

Thanks James, can you do a straight change to the 1LE style or do you need to change mounts and rotors?

The fronts require a spindle modification:
