Is the C5 caliper the same caliper as an fbody?

Is the C5 caliper the same caliper as an fbody? I ask this because someone else posted previous saying it was the same. Its a twin piston made by pbr same as the c5 and the baer gt. It looks the same.

13" rotors yes, but the calipers are almost identical, hence the question.
