Doesn't look like any rear Ebrake caliper I've seen. Most have a spring attached to retract the cable and release tension. Ebrake calipers also have a flush piston with notches in it - a special tool is needed to screw it back in when replacing pads, it's basically a block or disc with matching pins.
As a few of my recent customers have learned to their regret, you cannot retract them with a C clamp like the fronts. Does bad things to the interior racheting mechanism.
Another alternative is using a rear disc with interior drum e brake that works inside the hat. That allows any choice of caliper that fits, and separates the functions. Of course, all that drives up unsprung weight.
Some rodders have gone so far as to install a disc under the driveshaft yoke of the final drive for e brake use. Lots of different ways to do things.
