They are now white, courtesy of new decals.
I didn't repaint the calipers as the paint on them was still very good, I simply stuck new decals over the top of the originals. They aren't a perfect match size-wise, if you look closely you can still see little bits of the original decals, but no-one but me will ever notice.
Here's a pic:

Looking at your pic in post #1, and going by how mine looked, I would say the OEM colour is a very light silver which would look white in some conditions and pale gold in others.
Regards size, which one do you mean, the OEM decal or the replacement?
The replacement is a couple of mm longer and also very slightly curved while the OEM one is straight.

Two seconds before you posted I did the same search.
I couldn't find the seller I got mine from listed, but if you look closely you will see two different fonts.
The difference is mainly in the shape of the foot of the J, the later font (which matches the OEM F-Type decal font) is the one with a longer and flatter foot.
So the nearest match to the one I got is the fourth listing down, which as you will see is slightly curved and not straight like the OEM decals.
You get 3 x two sizes in the pack, 55 mm and 80 mm, you want the bigger ones for the front calipers.

Alternatively you could use the smaller ones which would fit easily on the flat part of the clip, or you could even put them on the caliper holder (the straightish bit towards the front of the car from the anti-rattle clip) where they would just fit for width.

Mine have no decals so nothing to cover up. I might have to do this next time i have a reason to pull the wheels.
There are lots of choices when not needing to cover old lettering up - this is probably my fav - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-Brak...1WzCSs&vxp=mtr 3" is slightly shorter than 80mm and would be a good fit.
Are our brakes Brembo OEM? Their logo is decent.
