Wow! I've tightened 1000s of those and never gave any thought to torque. Sorry, I don't have a clue. The good news is I've never seen them loose; since there'* virtually no torsional load on them.

Oh... you must not have understood PontiacDad'* message. Unless I'm really mistaken...
The bracket bolts are the short bolts that hold the bracket to the knuckle (or spindle); 136ft-lbs.
The caliper bolts are the long slide pin bolts, which I assume you call banjo bolts; 38ft lbs.
The bracket bolts will see a lot of torsional loading and they must be tight.
Make sure the pins are greased and the rubber boots are on correctly and sealed.
