Help...front brake swapping for dummies.

So I must be getting burned out or maybe my pea brain is just not up to it.

Can anyone help me figure out brake interchange stuff for my Jeep, described in kindergarten fashion?

2001 2wd XJ is what I have.
I got sent (I'm in Germany) brake rotors and pads for a '91 model 4x4.?.

Since the shipping was just stupid expensive and the delivery time was almost a month and a half... I'm hoping to find some other way to make this work.
Is it possible to put the 91 stuff on my 01 2wd? Would I need to order anything else... calipers, unibearings...? Anything? I could probably spend $ to get something smaller sent quickly but sending back the rotors and paying for shipping again would cost mucho.
Please help me on this one guys... Part numbers and or pics would be great too!

It's not worth your time or money to make them work. Google "gojeep" to find a page on swapping to Ford falcon front discs... Should be easier to get parts then.
