It's an SN95 rear end with Fox length axles.
I have cut the caliper bracket, mounted it on the inside of the bracket mounting flange and mounted the caliper with spacers on the caliper bracket.
Spacing on the rotor is good.
This does no look correct compared to other photos I have seen.
Currently, the DS caliper is on the DS
AND
The PS Caliper is on the PS
Thanks in advance.

Yes, bleeder should be on top and ebrake connection on the bottom.

These were mine. The ebrake was on the underside and on the backside. 8.8 out of 93 Mustang

Most mount them on the opposite with the caliper on the front of the axle to avoid interference with the coil over. I mounted my the same as you have with no issue with the coil over mounted with the spring up.

IIRC, didn't JKliener mention mounting the calipers on the front of the axle also helped with routing the e-brake cable?

As shown in your photo they are incorrect. You have the bleeder on the bottom; should be on the top. Yes, I like to swap them so that they are forward of the axle as I show here (note that the bleeder is at the top):

It allows the parking brake cable to be routed making a "U" rather than an "S". When doing so you have to swap everything side to side; brackets, caliper, caliper mount and anti-moan bracket.
Cheers,

Looking closely at your picture, you already have them mounted on the front of the axle but, the calipers just need to be switched side to side.
