Mahle KL 97 filter size question

Hi all planning on doing a fuel filter swap on my new project ‘99 s70 NA, not the first time I’ve done this job but I ran into an issue.
Purchased a Mahle fuel filter and was sent these: anyone have any idea what they’re for? Clearly much smaller than the filter I’m aiming to change.

I don't know if Volvo changed part number for '99+,but all 850....'97 & '98 s,v,c70 use Mahle KL85 fuel filter.

So strange, I usually buy from rock auto and their parts section is done by make, year, model, engine, so there’s rarely, if ever, a problem with mismatched parts from year to year or fitment. These are like motorcycle sized filters, very odd for them to even have listed.
