Default Girling Pads

Bob,
In my previous question re. Wilwood brake squeal and lack of bite by the rear Girlings, you mentioned that ERA always supplies Girling pads from England. This weekend, in an effort to improve the rear brake situation, I througly bled the rears, removed the pads and de-glazed them with 40 grit alum. oxide and measured them. The pad thickness was a nominal .375". The pad backs were stencilled "DB521 BMXPFF 162930" and the friction material was medium tan in color, sorta like shredded wheat. They were shiney black when they came out of the car. Mike Bontoft supplied these with his ventilated rotor kit. Is this the same part no. you order from Girling? If not, might you know what brand they are?
Thanks,
