Ring compbrake and ask to speak to one of the lads in the tech side, I used to deal with a lad called Neil but I think he has now left.
I will check the compbrake catalogue I have here see what it says.

Hello, just checked and it looks like you want a set of HB-521 pads for your calipers, just to confirm, the width at the widest point is 133mm and the height at the highest is 61mm
Cheers Ian.

P.S they look very much like the compbrake pro race one, comp-B4 product number CMB0056 £350 per pair

Best thing you can do with them is skip them mate! Had a rear kit on my bugeye, even bleeding the brakes the calipers would flex,not to mention the shims you have to fit on the pads to prevent the pistons coming out of the caliper when the pads are half worn.
And yes the staff are clueless and muppets!
Im now in the process of getting AP Rear kit to match the front.
Compbrake defo the worst mod i ever did on my car complete ****e!
