Had front pads replaced last week by an independent garage. I can't remember seeing the old pads with shiny clips. Does the photo show  anything amiss?

No; it does show that your indy replaced the retaining clips.

The clips (which are rivetted to/ part of the pads so hard not to change with the pads!) were probably just a lot less shiny on the old pads, so not so noticeable.

 

Good news is they've put that one in the right place, as an outer pad. There are subtle differences between clips on inner and outer.

 

This image shows an inner pad on the left, and an outer on the right.

Thank you for putting my mind at rest
