Thanks. They good look. I really don't care where rotors are made, etc. but I do care about how true they are. In other words, do they come with some sort of lateral deviation or are they actually straight as an arrow. The last thing I want to do is install rotors to find that my car is vibrating at highway speeds.
Buying from R1 Concepts at least alleviates that concern somewhat since their support is great, and would've sent me a new rotor if I were to have complained. (At least that's what the reviews about them seem to say).

Black leapers on yellow painted brakes
Original. Black finish on brakes was faded/weathered/ugly. Made the car look somewhat drab.
Prepared to remedy this situation.
VHT caliper paint.
Vinylgraphics leaper plus clear coat.
Front.
Rear. Didn't completely mask off the pad as it turns out. Oh well, can't be perfect.
I'm told it looks "sportier" now. I agree.

The ones used by Smonop are the correct font, it's just that they are straight when the curved ones (following the line of the anti-rattle clip or caliper) look better but have become almost impossible to find.
Edit - after two hours (I kid you not!) of Interwebz research I finally found a seller of Jaguar brake caliper decals with both the correct (modern) font and curved, see here: https://thestickyscene.com/jaguar-br...per-decals-x6/
Good - three big ones and three little ones and a range of colours
Not so good - UK based and hard to tell if they ship OS or if they do what they charge.

Thanks for looking, but has anyone ordered these though? I ordered a set off of ebay a while back that had the correct font in the picture, and when they were delivered, were the wrong font. It was $5, so tossed them in the trash. Until I see them delivered, I won't be 100% confident they're the correct font.

Yep, they are the exact same ones I bought.
The postage turned out to not be too bad, about the same cost as the decals themselves.
They are high quality, the correct font and a doddle to put on.
See this post for some (poor quality) snaps of the end result (I painted the calipers yellow first):

One word of warning about the rear calipers/decals:
I tried sticking the same decals on the rear calipers of my old XFS and they just would not stick, the surface of the calipers was just too rough and knobbly.
Same knobby surface on both the 326 mm and 376 mm F-Type rear calipers.
So on the F-Type, before I painted the rear calipers, I filed down fairly flat those parts of the calipers where the decals would be stuck.
After painting they came out nice and flat and the decals stuck firm.

have they stood the test of time?
ok will keep that in mind (although im not doing it myself, i'll let the guy know
)now just need to decide if i'm going yellow or kawasaki green on the calipers
leaning towards the latter

Also I put two coats of clear over the top of them.
That said, the previous stick on decals (exactly the same but white and from a different seller) lasted for three years with absolutely zero degradation, and I didn't even clear coat them.
I am 99.9% sure these decals will last pretty much forever.

Etsy has historically been a good place to find this kind of stuff.

I don't think you can get those anywhere not even a JLR dealership, the best bet would be to do as I have done and paint the calipers and anti-rattle clips then stick decals on top.
