So am I a prick or what?

Yes.
It was your error. You say you "know for a fact" these two students had the assignment and were prepared to turn it in ACCORDING TO THE SYLIBUS. You should have accepted it then. The students relied upon the representation presented in the sylibus (which is your responsibility to ensure is correct - regardless of the Sr Prof.) and were prepared to comply.
FWIW, I am all for giving the big "0" when students fail to complete an assignment. They deserve it. But not these two.
