Rear rotor fitment - will this fit?

Y'all-

I purchased 2 rotors (see image) from someone who claimed they were front rotors for a C32. In short, they aren't.
I eventually got the part # from him and it turns out they are aftermarket front rotors for a C320. I've searched quite a bit and I can't find if anyone has addressed this, but....
Will these rotors fit my rear?
The diameter is 11.75" (which looks to be right about what our OE rear rotors are). The thickness of these rotors is just over 1" (1.09" to be exact). [Edit] - they weigh 16.5pds each.
Any and all help would be much appreciated!

Someone mentioned that they thought one of the cross drilled R129 model rotors might fit the rear. Does anyone know if this is the case? I need to replace rotors soon and wouldlike to try to match the front.

Thanks

Breaststroker posted this back in 4/2004 with regards to cross drilled rear rotors for the C32.

Another option is to try the late R129 Silver Arrow rear rotors, which are the same size (300x22), and cross-drilled. I am 99.44% sure they will bolt on perfectly but I haven't confirmed this! If you have a friendly dealer parts guy, they might order one in for you to measure before buying a pair. The part number for the drilled OE 300x22 rea rotor is 129-423-05-12 and list price is something like $90 each."

I was hoping that someone might have verified this by now.

Thanks
Chuck

Thanks - I talked to them the other day and they also have the rears available from Disc Italia as slotted, x-drilled, or both. They are 22mm thick also.
