It's a GSL-SE. If the rear discs are solid, someone swapped in a GSL rear end. Are your wheels the same front and rear? If so, your front suspension has also been swapped to 12A spec. Either that or someone swapped VINs for whatever reason, but if it has an injected 13B, I'd be more inclined to think someone yoinked the suspension to use in their 12A car.

Another clue as to whether the car has the 12A brakes is the wheel size. If it has 13's, they must be 12A brakes, as 13's won't fit over the SE brakes. Also, the 12A hubs use lug bolts or screw in studs, while the SE hubs have pressed in studs.
I'm betting you have an SE with 12A brakes. |

EDIT oops already mentioned.
