Ebc pad conundrum

EBC lists the rear brake pad for the 2015+R1200RS as a FA363HH - but it doesn’t fit! It’s at least 10 mm too short. It looks as though the FA209 might be the right pad - anybody got any ideas?
The good news is that I ordered the pads after a rather cursory on-the-bike measurement, but when I got the pads ( original fitment) out they still had quite a bit of the wear markers showing.
Lessons: pull the pads to inspect wear if in doubt, and check the measurements of the new ones before you try to fit them!
 
You want the 209 series. Check beemerboneyard.com. The HH is the full metallic I think. Also think BMW puts plain organic pads on the back. Less wear for the rotor.

Thanks Jim. The OEM pads I took out looked like sintered - similar to the fronts.

The parts fiche for the RS shows sintered pads for the back brake.
A couple weeks ago I ordered rear 2396RX3 Carbone Lorraine pads from Beemer Boneyard and they are sintered.

Oh right, forgot you "sporty" RS guys are outfitted in a more track-ready configuration. :)
