SE rear brake question

alright. i bought a set of cross drilled and slotted rotors for my car. the fronts are fine but the rears they sent me GSL discs instead of SE discs. anyways...they're being retarded about it and judging by how much progress i've made so far i think my brakes are still a few weeks off.

now for the question.. i have 2 stock rear SE brake rotors still with some decent meat on them but they've been outside in the rain for a while. do you think its plausible to take a roloc disc to them or even just a scotch brite pad to them and take the corrosion off? i just need them for a temp fix for a week or 2 until the new discs come. what do you guys think?

if its just surface rust, its ok...just use a fine grit sandpaper plus once the brake pads will clean it up more.

PS:
Could you check your rear caliper for part #? I have 2 sets of calipers (SE and non-SE) and I need to identify which is which.

thanks
