The 380 mm front calipers and caliper brackets are alu alloy (but the anti-rattle clip is steel) while the 376 mm rear calipers are steel.
Not sure about the 355 mm front calipers although I suspect they are alu alloy but again the 326 mm rear calipers are steel.

Thanks for the clarification. (I'm still irked that we didn't get the opposed-piston calipers they put on an SUV)
