Question Reverse brake squeal

Disc brakes squeal in reverse only. Pads look good, rotors look good is this brake dust?

How much pad do you actually have? I ask this because my Expy pad indicators initially begin squealling only in reverse when the pads just start to wear less than half thickness. That's when I know I have about 3-5 thousand more miles before my next pad change! I usually bend the squealers back with needle nose pliers.
