They told me they only sell the 5.75" ones. That's what we bought and is quite clearly wrong.
No one can seem to provide a link to them on eBay either. So I'm of the opinion tbat they no longer sell them.

They looked far too big?? And also arent the inner lamsp smaller? Or not?
The other thing is the original lamps have 3 or 4 screw/bolt holes to mount them to the backing bit. Teh lamps we got just have strange looking clips around the outer edge of the lamps... Any ideas?

Outers clip to the plastic frame as mentioned above, so no mounting nuts attached
Inners have 3x mounting brackets/nuts attached as per your pic
Thats what mine are like anyway.
You have been sent the wrong ones for the Inners.

Yep
I only fitted mine a couple of weeks back and completely overhauled all the nuts/bolts etc so that they could be adjusted without struggling
The outers use the plastic ring, and the inners have the mounts attached to the lamp as per the pic of the rusted one
