First thing to come to mind was that maybe those are for the rears. I don't think they are though. I also don't think those are going to work on our cars. I can see where the studs would go through the little half loops, however, for that lower triangular part to go on one side of the pad or the other, to me it would have to interfere and so couldn't. If it were clipped over the pad side, then it would be between the pad and rotor surface and that's no good. If it is flipped the other way, that triangular part would be getting pushed on by the piston against the back side of the pad, and that doesn't make any sense.
Where did you get these and what kind of car's brakes were they advertised for?
What Dana posted are the original girling clips. No longer available for some reason.
What the OP posted is a new style “Will fits”

I don't think my brakes had these clips. No wonder they squeal sometimes. Although, looking at the parts diagram for the front brakes, I don't see them pictured or mentioned.
Ah yes, they definitely look familiar. I can't recall the car I had that used this style, but they worked.
Yeah, they are the last item on the DMC front brake list, part # 119005 called "brake hardware kit":

These are what I got. As Dennis mentioned, I don't know if the style of clip changed in the last 3 years since I did mine. You can see the kit pictured on the lower left in this picture:

I got the new style clips in a front brake hardware kit. My calipers had the original style on them, I cleaned them and put them back on with the new pads.
I just overhauled the front brakes, rebuilt the calipers, stainless steel pistons, new pads, and hardware (my pad pins were bent and one had a flat head screw head? ) New stainless flexable lines as well, had the original lines, 37 years old they probably starting to collapse, new rotors, and front wheel bearings.
And you're right there is no mention of the squeal clips in the parts manual, or any good pics of how they should be installed for that matter.
The most important part to keep the squealing sequestered is the shims.
The spring clips are just there to stop rattle/clicking. Before I had them Installed, I would sometimes here a subtle eek,eek,eek........ while driving at slow speeds through parking lots with the window down.
