Everyone refers to these brakes as Camaro brakes but I think these are actually generic GM Calipers used on most medium and larger GM cars trough the 70s and into the 80s. Does anyone know if this is correct?

That's pretty much a correct statement. GM made the D52 and D54 calipers. The D54 are metric calipers and the distance between bolt holes is about 5 1/2 inches, while the distance between bolt holes on the D52 is about 7 inches. Easiest way I know to tell the difference.

Yes, they are a generally used caliper used on everything from the Camaro and Chevelle to station wagons.
