Looks like a cast iron PBR HQ caliper to me. And as there is bugger all clearance between the caliper and disc, I'd say it was a 279 MM diameter disc, just like the HQ.

You can buy undrilled HQ front discs, get them studded to Commodore and have the centre bore turned down to 69.5 MM. That would be the correct way to do it.

On what? Standard Commodore are metric. Standard HQ are imperial. If the discs in the first image are re-studded HQ discs to Commodore pattern, you would think they were metric studs.
