90Vert Hawk Brake Pads

I bought some Hawk Brake Pads a couple of weeks ago the Summit Racing Car show in Ohio.
The rep from Hawk recommended the P/N#HB274F.575 /D731 HPS pads for the front of my 1990 Vert.
When I looked at them today they are quite different from the OEM pads. They don't have the Two steel cup style locator's on the back and they have a tab on the center of the large rad on the backpad.
Has anyone run into this problem ? Do I have the wrong pads? Or do I need to modify the tab?

Thanks
Mark

I bought Hawk ceramic pads for my '96, and they had the cup locators - according to performancepeddler.com, those are the wrong part number:

Looks like the Rep recommended pads for a C5. The Problem is I bought these at Summit Racing in Ohio and I live just outside of Toronto Ontario.6 hours away. I will attempt to trade these at a dealer for the C4 Pads.

Thanks for the help guys.

Summit's always been very good about returns.
Why not call them?
