Hopefully you should have a sticker on the back/bottom of your fuse box. On it should tell you what braking system you have. Off the top of my head, there is either Lucas or Teves.

If you can't find a sticker (mine doesn't as its missing the cover), whip your wheel off and post a photo of your caliper on here and I'll try and work it out for you.

Sorry mate, but I'm struggling to understand your description of the problem. Can't help with that one I'm afraid.

Perhaps I should be a bit clearer regarding the vehicle data plate (in and around the driver's footwell). It won't actually say Lucas or Teves braking system.

Instead, it will have lots of codes printed on it. One of these codes specifies your caliper type. Hopefully you will see one of the codes below:

1LU = 15" Wheels. Floating caliper FN3/57 ITT
1LP = 15" Wheels. Floating caliper Lucas C54
1LE = 15" Wheels. Floating frame caliper Lucas RC 54
1LB = 16" Wheels. Floating caliper FN3/57 ITT

ive found under the relay cover a sticker stating 7DA 1T2
TRANSPORTER
65KW TDI 50ST
VERY LAST NUMBERS
1XO 1LU

Therefore your braking system is 1LU, which is a Teves system. The pads can come with or without wear limit indicators.

By looking at your photos, I can't see any wires coming from them, so I imagine your van doesn't have this option.
