Default My local Porsche dealership could not find a listing for piston seals

Only dust boots. I presume that it means that the dust seals are the only serviceable part.

Default I don't know much about the history of the caliper

I got it from a Porsche dismantler in LA so they are off a wrecked Boxster. I will have to examine the dust boots, I can't recall their condition as I purchased the calipers last fall and have been slowly piecing together the brake kit over the last few months. They've been in my garage this past winter. I don't know how old they are either. Would a good brake flush help?
