Are both of these Deore brakes 2 pistons? How do i know that without disassembly? Specs say BL-M6100 / BR-M6120 for the front (203mm) and BL-M6100 for the rear (180mm).

Afaik Deores come in both 2 pot and 4 pot variants so i’m confused.
The front one is clearly a 4 piston. You can tell because the shape looks like a peanut which is a cut out for 2 pistons. So you have that on both sides = 4.
The back one doesn’t have any shape and it’s literally smaller than the one in the front. The back one is a 2 piston.
The front is clearly a 4, you can see the cylinders. Rear looks like a 2
Front is a 4 piston (br-m6120) rear is two piston (br-m6100)
Check the backside/inside of the caliper for the MXXXX number. That should tell you
