Do Hawk pads have "built in" backing plate?

Hi guys,

I've just fitted some Hawk Performance Ceramic pads, and while doing so I thought that the metal plate attached to the pad seemed like an "integrated backing plate" for want of a better term. So I didn't use the Mazda backing/anti squeal plates on the new pads. Does this sound right, or should I have added the Mazda plates as well? There just didn't seem like there would be enough room for both.

Thanks in advance :)

My HPS ones did Gerard, front and rear, and the plates are ones with tabs that hook over the edge.

You can probably JUST see them if you take a gander through the spokes.
