You'd need to find one off a bike that was for the same diameter disc and that mounted with the same bracket / bolt spacing on the carrier.

I think that would be a bit of a challenge TBH.

I'm sure someone might have said on the SE site what the bike it is off was.

I would have thought that if you are prepared to build a new caliper bracket, then you can have a choice of calipers. I've a four pot caliper from an R1, but the brake is not the RS type.

Are you looking for something less vicious Peach? The SIP calliper on my jet works very well but as Martin said, would need a new calliper bracket.......job for CS?

Is that on the zip wheel? Or a custom carrier?
