too bad you don't have the original anymore. I'd ask you to measure the thickness of the "pads" with a caliper. The second pic "pads" don't look as thick, but mayb'e I'm just seeimg things

It's hard to tell from those pictures, but it looks like they changed to a different friction material.

The ones I've seen look like the first one. They must have changed something.

Let us know if it chatters or not. My guess is they changed em to prevent the chatter.

If they do not chatter, .

If they still do, it's back to stock SVT clutch for me. The chatter on mine is ridiculous.

Not sure about Stage II's, but the Stage III uses a solid/one piece "sprung hub" with 6 "pucks":
