The Spec C RA-R brakes are 6 pot (see below pic). Not sure on the brand, though, but you can clearly see 3 distinctive piston humps on the caliper front vs. the Ts that has 2 on the front.

I thought it was fishy as you could see the piston bores and the brakes were black. That was the giveaway as you have included a beautiful picture of the silver painted STI 6 pots.

I just sold my GDB STI calipers, so I'm very familiar with them. My bad on calling them R205 brakes. Mmmm, external fluid crossover.
