I have been challenged by a friend and my previous message was in correct. I need to know which of the following is true.

"This is us"

Or

"This is we"

when refering to an exit on a highway.

This is us

or

This is ours

Then should it be "It's we who have done it." or "It's us who have done it."?

I used the word "us" not we. I know neither may be correct, but which one is incorrect.

This one. However, it is more common to see either this is us or that is us.

Eg:
V: Clara? V' asked
C:This is me. C' replied

I,You and we are generally used when followed by a relative clause.

Eg:It's I who am to blame.It's you who are responsible for this .

It's we who have done it.
