Default 1990 Brake Caliper Bolt Head Mystery

I am replacing the shoes and rotors on my 90 cherokee Laredo. On other calipers that I have had to remove usually the 2 bolts are hex, allen, or torx. But these are different.

They are most like a Star Socket, but that's not what they are. Does anyone know what type of socket or wrench may fit these bolts? It mentions nothing of the type in my Chiltons manual either. Thanks for the help.

oh, and if you don't have a 12pt socket, the box end of a wrench/spanner is 12pt.
