Those are crumpets on the plate, though the boxes appear to contain muffins....  odd picture.

Incorrect.  Those are not crumpets.  Crumpets are "pan cakes" made with yeast.  Those are sliced muffins.  Outside of the UK, this type of muffin is known as an English Muffins.  As opposed to pastry muffins.

The difference between a crumpet and a pan cake is that the former uses baking powder or soda as a leavening agent and crumpets use yeast. 

Look more like crumpets to me, seem too thick for a sliced muffin.

Have you ever eaten an Egg McMuffin at McDonald's?  If so, did you think that was a crumpet?  Because an Egg McMuffin is made with an English Muffin.
