They sent me the wrong 1LE calipers!-I think I got C4 style

I ordered the loaded pair of calipers from Autozone Morse part #P4343 for a 1990 Camaro IROC-Z with perf/pkge. They looked right except the space for the rotor between the pads was only like .85" and the hole for the banjo bolt is not at the bottom of the caliper, it is right behind the lower piston. We also had ONE drivers side caliper by Fenco (C364) in stock so I pulled it out and it looks right. It has the correct placement of the banjo bolt facing straight down AND 1.1xx inches between the SAME morse pads.

Does that sound like I got C4 calipers?

I checked your site but, AZ is still cheaper for me since I get 20% off. 1LE calipers reg. priced at only $32.55 lifetime warranty with a 30.00 core at my store and they are in stock. But now it looks like I will have to buy pads too.
