I'm going to guess Girling.....
1968 Ford Falcon/Fairmont. Brakes: Front: Hydraulic 10 inch (254mm) drums Note: Power assisted 10.75 inch (273.05mm) Girling disc brakes standard on Fairmont Six, 11.00 inch (279.40mm) standard on Fairmont V8 Rear: Hydraulic 10 inch (254mm) drums

I used the google photo and it comes up with all types of stuff pottery ,BMW E90 diff ,Kenworth W900 diff all different things .I showed my Father in Law the picture he seems to think the same as you guys that it's Girling as well .He said take them of and give them a good clean there should be markings on it somewhere .
