Swap XR3 callipers on a Banjo axle

Dear all, I have XR3 callipers on my fisher Fury Escort axle. I need to swap them for something with a handbrake facility.
Can anyone recommend a calliper that will be a direct replacement please?
Many thanks

When you say Escort axle do you mean a MK1/2 Escort live axle or MK3/later independent rear suspension?

I ask, because as far as I'm aware the XR3 was Escort MK3.

Apologies, I should’ve mentioned

The live axle is from a 1981 Escort (mk2) and then converted from drum brake to what I’m told XR3 front brakes.
I’m wanting to add a handbrake
I’m unable to upload pictures yet as it says unsupported format (or something)
