Interesting. Both my front calipers have no clips, or brake gear of any kind, just the pads and that's it.

These sit under each end of the pad. Not behind it.

They've been like it since I've had the vehicle, and had no problems so far.

No, none of those are on mine, so some slack arse has ditched them before I got the vehicle. I will have to get a set and fit them.

yer probily be in your best intersets other wise same thing y happen to yours the pad rides up and the rotor wears a groove into the pad.
nissiannewby put me onto (partsouq.com) these guys half the price of nissian and patrolapart single piston caliper rebuild kit for both front calipers ($200 from nissian, $170 plus post from patrol apart and these guys want $57 plus $20 postage) and there all genuine parts and prices.
