An update and possible tip for newbs.

Underside of passenger side Teves brake caliper (side I heard whistle
coming from):

I suspect that aside from what *looks* like a fubar'd dust seal, the
piston itself may not be fully returning or possibly seized. These may
have been the cause of the "whistle" noise. Regardless, both calipers
will be replaced.

Tip: if possible, check the underside of calipers when doing a visual
inspection. (would a dental type mirror suffice ??)

Of course YMMV, and the usual disclaimers :)
