Suzuki dealer. 1 seal, 1 dust seal.

Try cleaning them up first, lots on here on how to do it (remove, pump out pistons, clean, push back, etc).

Is the pointy a single piston sliding caliper? If it is the same caliper as the curvy it will be two kits of the above.

I've consulted the 8 ball and it "doesn't look likely". For one thing they're the other way up, so the bleed nipples would be in the wrong place.
