7,000 lb Lippert Brake Assembly Recommendation for Dual Axle Trailer

Question

Question:

I have dual Lippert 7000# axles and would like to buy replacement brakes. The brakes on it use 5 bolts to attach to the axle and the only numbers stamped on the back are AXLETEK-12-GG. The axle itself has a Cost PO#102-2684 and variant V000115575. Could you please assist me in which brakes to get. Thank you
