Rear Caliper Marking

My rear calipers have turned rusty, so I'm think about buying 2 replacements off ebay, reconditioning them and then swapping over.

Some calipers have Bosch written on them, some CBINT just above the disc rotor size.

Are they exactly the same, can they both be used across the same axle, are the pads the same?

You do get, same day, caliper painting companies. Drive in-drive out. Cheaper?

Yes this ^, Hammerite Smooth finish (rather than hammered) will paint straight over rust. Just get the loose bits off with a wire brush and paint it on the caliper whilst it is on the car. Comes in all colours. Easy.
