I know calipers need to be replaced in pairs, and really hope i don't have to replace either of them, but in case I do, I'd like to be prepared. Do I likely have ATE or bendix on that car? I've had them unmounted once before when I changed the rear sway bar end links but don't have the car nearby me yet.

that's easy. just crawl under the car and look for the Ate or bendix logo on the caliper. It should be easily identifiable. You don't have to remove the wheel.
also, it is ok to just replace one caliper if the other side is still ok.
