Question This can't be the right pad size for M2

Hi guys, need some help. I just ordered some PFC 08 pads from PartBox in Germany.

The rear looks like I was expecting, and the sweep area of the pad matches well with the size of the rotor.

But the front pads look way to small (short).
When I matched them up to the bottom of the rotor looks like ~0.5" at the top is not swept, and the wholes for caliper pins are aligned with the top of the rotor. This can't be right.

These look like they are made for 14" rotors, not 15"

Does anyone know the PFC part number for 08s in the right shape for M2?

This is the part number I got: 1609.08.17.44

1609.08.17.44 is the correct part number for PFC 08 front pads for M2, so it seems like the box contained the incorrect front pads. The front pads should look like this:

Thanks for the help. I'll work with them on a return and exchange.

Thanks guys. Part Box made the same assessment after a few pictures. They are sending new pads and a return label for the wrong ones that came. Pretty happy with the customer service
