Did I Buy the Wrong Front Brake Pads?

I just ordered and received a pair of Brembo rotors and a set of Mintex Pads from Europarts, to take to my local indie (sorry, I don't DIY brakes!)
Car is 1999 9-5 wagon, plain 2.3 lpt
I was just double-checking the parts I received as I did this by phone since Europarts' catalog is not on-line. I noticed in the E-europarts lisitngs that the Mintex pads are for VIN up to X3020000, with something else listed for VINs above. My VIN is X309...
On another site I see that the distinction is only for rear brakes, and that these same Mintex are correct for my VIN (and gives what I am guessing is the Saab part number, 5055371).
When I placed the order Europarts did not question me on this and did not ask me my VIN, the only question was making sure that it was the smaller rotor that I needed. I do know that there is a difference on the Rear brakes.
Can anyone clarify what's going on here, and that I am okay? The brakes job actually won't be done until early October, so I have time to remedy this now if I have the wrong stuff.
Thanks in advance.
