Aftermarket pads don't looks like oem

I bought a set of powerstop and hawk hps ceramic pads for my front and rear brakes respectively. I bought them from 2 different companies but they both don't look like the oem pads. They're smaller and they don't have those wings on the sides.

Is this normal?

can you post some pictures? The aftermarket pads I bought were identical in shape, and also had the same type of metal clips the stock ones had.

So I double checked with the vendor I bought my rear pads from and they said they sent the wrong part. Looks like I'll have to verify with the other vendor as well.
