Adding to this: did you not just swap the front and rear bake (per accident)?

Cheers, think you're probably right. Just checked the front brake bolt and it's a little shorter (but not by enough for that rear bridge), so I assume that yes they're the wrong way round. I'd still have to chop it, worth swapping them before doing so do you think? The nut doesn't protrude but good shout.

That’s probably a front brake with the bolt that long to fit through a fork.
Cutting the bolt will make it shorter and potentially useable but check that the nut it screws into (between your fingers in the pic) isn’t too long for the brake bridge on the frame...if it protrudes the other side you will not be able to get the brake caliper tight
