Default KDW2 question

Are the tread patterns on the fronts and rears of the KDW2s the same? On the tire itself does it say KDW or KDW2. The tires that were shipped to me have different patterns and show as KDW not KDW2s.

From the Tire Rack site;

The BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 (KDW for Key feature: Dry and Wet traction, the “2” is our addition and identifies that this is the second generation g-Force T/A KDW) is the Ultra High Performance Summer tire that was developed to provide a blend of a dramatic-looking, ultra high performance tread design with superior dry and wet road performance. The BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 is available in sizes for drivers of the world's hottest sports cars, coupes, sedans and light trucks. Like all summer tires, g-Force T/A KDW-2 tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Thanks Shortski, I saw that when searching for an answer with the tire installer, but both questions really are still not answered. I need to know if the tread pattern shown should be the same for the front and rears and if the sidewall says KDW or KDW2.
