Default Deuce Back Rest, Hi - Low?

So I have never really paid much attention to back rests as I don't care for the look. But, now I need to find one for my Deuce for the wife for when she heads out with me.
Can anyone please clarify the difference between the hi and low versions of stock HD Deuce back rest and pads for the deuce. Some pictures would be great also.
I just want to make sure I know what I'm looking for on my search for one. The low sounds like what I'm looking for but I'm not exactly sure what that is? Haha

Cheers

I believe the backrests are 'large' and 'small' as opposed to 'tall' and 'short'. I have the 'small' one

Thanks for the reply and pictures. I was told high and low. Large and small make much more sense.. Is there any chance you could tell me what the dimensions are of the small pad you have?

Default Deuce backrest ~ TALL OR SHORT




this is the short (I have only a solo seat, that is why it looks tall).

The 'tall' model has a higher back of about 4" and it 'fits' in the middle of the back. The 'short' version 'fits' the small of the back. I think the pads are the same, and the luggage rack, but the tall frame is just 4" taller. I had some parts numbers somewhere… I will look if you need them.
