Identifying Stainless Brakes

I'm starting to work on the suspension, etc. on my recently purchased '73. I'm a little new to working on vettes, but have loved them for years.

I took off one of the brake calipers yesterday and want to determine if the calipers are already sleeved with stainless steel or not. In looking at it, I can't make a determination without disassembling it further. It shows a stamp indicating it is a remanufactured caliper, but no indication whether it has been sleeved. Any suggestions on making the determination would be much appreciated? Thanks.
 
It is impossible to tell with the two halves still connected. You will have to take it apart and remove the dust boots and a piston for positive ID.
