Default CTS-V caliper issue...please help?!?!

I am wondering if I got the wrong calipers?

I was told they were from a 2005 CTS-V (which should work according to Wesman's write-up). But the back side, where the brake hose attaches, looks alittle different when compared to the pics from these two threads:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...t-info-12.html
https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...ll-w-pics.html

On the calipers I have, the break hose screws in directly in the center and straight in (where the red plug is in the pics below) rather than how it looks in the previous posts.

Also I ordered new Hawk pads (P/N HB453Z.585)...but the pads are different sizes than the ones that came with the caliper. I can not fit the hawk pads into the caliper.

These are pics of the calipers I received:




New Hawk pad on Left, stock pad on right:



So I am lost...Did I receive the wrong calipers...??

damnit...I was kind of thinking that later on yesterday. Guess I will have to call him up tomorrow and hopefully we can track down where the actual fronts are.

No one has yet to make the rears fit correct? ...if they did, I would consider keeping these.

Just an update, I did get sent the rears and they have tracked down the front calipers, which should be sent to me later this week.
Thanks for the help guys.
