When Longboards aren't really Longboards

I've seen pics of various commuter and other bikes here with SKS Longboard fenders, and they always have great coverage, extending far down behind both the front and rear wheels (front wheel especially). So I bought some SKS Longboard fenders in the 65mm size (largest width they make) for my utility e-bike build with Schwalbe 26x2.15" tires. The packaging said Longboard on it, but they don't look anywhere near as long as the narrower 700c Longboard fender sizes. What's the deal with this? I don't think I got the wrong product, I think SKS actually calls them something they're not. I'm guessing there probably are no truly LONG fenders in a 65mm size. Thoughts?

Aside from not being that long, though, I think they look awesome. The silver color goes perfectly with the color of the frame on this bike.
