Are Pagid brake pads compatible or incompatible?

Nonetheless, the box indicates Audi Q8/Q7 and VW Touareg, as seen below. Can someone assist in confirming their compatibility with Indeed? Alternatively, if Halfords sent me with the incorrect item

Thank you, that directs me to Euro Car Parts, which confirms their compatibility. I will examine the other barcode on the box in the morning and see whether it is “101221098.”

A multitude of components is compatible with diverse models. I often see instances where Aston components priced at hundreds of pounds are identical to Ford parts that cost £15.
Manufacturers do not produce these components; they design in accordance with market availability.
Consider bulbs, O-rings, oil filters, and, of course, brake pads.

At the age of 18, I purchased brake pads for my 3.0 litre Capri.
The cost was £25. The pads were same for both the 2-liter and the 1.6-liter models.
However, priced at £20 and £12, respectively. Identical pads, identical box, different number; they were also compatible with Granada and Cortina models.
Another client, a self-employed mechanic, found amusement in my uninformed purchase.

Many smaller manufacturers excel at scavenging components from parts bins.
Years ago, I had a buddy who had an ancient Maserati—though I cannot recall the specific model—that required a clutch replacement. The authentic piece from Masser was, undoubtedly, exorbitantly priced. However, after doing some investigation, he found that it was, in fact, the same unit that was installed in the Bedford CF van.
