they are cantis mate
used to be popular-ish in the late ninties
i run a canti on the front of my flatland bike for a while

you can run v brakes instead

or get a straddle cable and run the cantis. they should work ok

dont forget you will need a v brake lever

yup it just floats

there should be an anchor point further up. sometimes there is an adjuster there. or use the lever as the adjuster

you may need an anchor that attaches to the brake bridge

I don't think AD's will fit this frame as the lugs are lower on the rear stay . . . AD's will not give enough rear wheel clearance and scrub the rear tyre
