Question Please help to identify this - SOLVED! Thanks!!

Okay so totally I'm stuck. This is the last thing in the way of getting by bike on the road. PLEASE PLEASE help me identify the brake caliper in question so I can get some brake pads for it:

90% sure its Yamaha
90% sure its mid-80s to early 90s (could be late-90s I guess?!)
70% sure its from a bigger bike (350+), the forks were mounted on my '83 TT600 when I got it
70% sure that the caliper belongs to the forks
Makings on the Caliper- 94, L (I assume for left), KA3, 27
Makings on the Caliper slider- MG3
Markings on the Old pads- TT 2202 FF
Forks are 43mm

I had thought it was from a ~93 XT600 but the pads for that have an extra hook on one side.

PLEASE HELP & I will be forever grateful

Note: 2 hex bolts at the top are not stock, you can see the original hardware further down


















The Master Cyl may or may not be matched to the caliper ::

I would just take the pads to a decent sized bike shop and see if they can match them?
Worst comes to worst, you can try and match them up from a catalogue using calipers to measure distances.

Calipers can be really hard to match with very small differences between models.

Looks like Honda.
If fork tubes are 43mm is an old Africa Twin RD03 (only one disk) and the EBC code is FA124/2 Sizes: 87.9 x 41.1 x 9.8mm
If tubes are 41mm is the olds NX650 Dominator front end
The only other pads I remember with the same shape but different sizes is from the RD04 Africa Twin also 43mm but 2 disks. EBC pads FA121 119.8 x 52 x 8mm
As far I could see these pads didn’t come in any Yamaha,master cylinder pump look like maybe the original from Yamaha
Regards
