Default Can you mount front calipers on the rear?

Can you mount the OEM front caliper (part number 996-351-426) with 330mm rotor on the rear, of a 987.2 Cayman? Both have 130mm bolt spacing.

Anyone done this?

It's likely the piston sizes are different for front vs rear, with larger pistons in front. Putting them in back would significantly increase brake power in back, throwing off the balance between the two.
What's your objective with this?
