Cant write 16 bit data values while in 16 bit write mode

I am trying to write data to an eeprom with some success but not quite. The chip is a 93c46 128 words at 8 bit or 64 words at 16 bit. The data to go in is in 64 word (16 bit) format as follows:

data to go in

When i write it to the chip and read it back i get:

data comes out

So its like its only writing one half of the value into each word.

I am using the code as below, with the data converted from hex to string to match the input type of the example code.

#include <93C46.h>
/*
 * Example Sketch demonstration on how to write to (and read from) a 93C46 eeprom
 * 
 * Wiring:
 * Pin 7(CS) to Chip pin 1
 * Pin 9(CS) to Chip pin 2
 * Pin 10(DI/MOSI) to Chip pin 3
 * Pin 11(DO/MISO) to Chip pin 4
 * 
 * (For some chips:) GND/VCC to Chip pin 6
 * This determines the organization:
 * HIGH is 64x16 (Use EEPROM_MODE_16BIT)
 * LOW is 128x8 (Use EEPROM_MODE_8BIT)
 *
