Catalogue now shows GDB1344 for the rear and GDB1374 for the front - link.

I'd send them that last pic and see what they say about it. This is a line from here: "This robust plate is then bonded to the friction material with a unique adhesive compound that can withstand extremely high temperatures and shear strengths."

Hmm.

However it didn't mention rust.---

True. But my (MGR) pads have been standing for longer than Andy's had and they haven't separated like this despite the rust.

Well you can only accurately compare like with like.

Different brake pad manufacturers tend to use slightly different compounds in the pad material.

Some appear to have metal in the mix and I've seen a film of rust on pads that are not on the car. This might make these pads vulnerable to rust expanding the material and unsticking it to the metal back plate.

In use no problem but stood in unused damp might trigger delamination from the backing.----
