Default X351 Rear Brake Pads

Hello,

I apologize if this has been answered before. I am replacing the brake pads and rotors on my 2017 Jaguar XJL Supercharged. I purchased the EBC Yellow Stuff pads that were specified for this specific vehicle. The fronts went on with no problem. However, the rear pads have a "hook" shape on the ends. The old ones have a squared end. I can't seem to find the squared off ones, but I'm sure they must be available somewhere.
Here are the old ones:

Old versus new

If anyone has any ideas on what I should be purchasing (I really want to stick to EBC) any help would be very appreciated and save what little hair I have left.

Looking at the pads offered on Rock Auto (although they don't list any EBCs currently) all of the brands/selections they have available appear to match your existing pad profile, from Brembo, Power Stop (my preferred), Quality Built, Dynamic Performance, Pagid... They all look like what you're showing.
I don't know what the EBC match was from, but it doesn't appear to match what's in your hand or available from other brands..

The new pads look like they are for pre-facelift 2015 and older. I encountered the same issue when I did rear pads on my 2016 (the first facelift year) and lots of sites showed the older version to be correct for my car.

Thanks for the information. I measured the distance needed for the overall length as there seems to be 3 different sizes (although one seems to be for the 6-cylinder engine and those are too small. I finally found ones that would fit and have ordered them. Should be here on Wednesday and I'll know if that solved the problem. It's just frustrating that doing the VIN search showed incorrect pads. Lesson learned. From now on, measure things before assuming they are correct.
