look closer, they are there somewhere but if you absolutely can't find the bleeders, here is an old standby trick that'll work as long as the calipers aren't full of air, loosen the brake line and listen for air as a buddy pumps when there is no air tighten them good with new copper washers.
p.s. if they are new calipers full of air take them off again and fill them with brake fluid on the workbench(it will make life easier when bleeding)
