your calipers have large holes for solid pins to secure pads ,not smaller holes for split pins ,as you obviously have solid pins fitted so need pads to suit other wise they will rub on disc

Aah think I got you. Yes 2 solid pins go over the top of the pads so I need the ones where the pins go through the pads? Same as the ones circled in the picture?

Im starting to get the feeling that the correct ones circled, are also for vented discs and not solid ones?

no, vented or non vented are the same ,there are 2 types of pads(though there are many part numbers )ones for solid pins (2 holes in pads) ones for split pins (center tab type), if a caliper has holes big enough for solid pins it is a solid pin caliper ,if not its split pin smaller hole

You want the type with the holes in
You should get a fitting kit also witch is new pins new springs and a cir clip to go through the end of the pins
When your buying bits like this its probably best to do a Google search and get hold of your local motor factors they are usually helpful have the bits on the shelf are cheap and if its the wrong part they will take it back and give you the right part straight away
