Nope, those little seals are what they call caliper joint seals, these are for splittable calipers e.g, what is fitted to the 600 and earlier bikes. The caliper fitted to the 1000 and to the fronts are monoblock and aren't splittable.
I'm now pretty sure they are mixing up their seal names and using car terminology. They are calling the dust seal (thinner) a wiper seal, because it has 2 little wiper blades, that's what the car industry often refer to them as. The main seal they are calling dust seal for some daft reason.
