i think yours would be Lucas on the rear as ive worked on some 307s petrol and diesel and they have been Lucas its not on common to have bosch on the front and Lucas on the rear,

if you want to remove the caliper then remove the 2 bolts (number 3 on the pic) then you need to remove the brake pipe (number 2 in the pic) am near sure its a 12-13mm spanner is needed its easy to do just make sure you clamp the flexi hose to stop brake fluid from pouring out
