I don't know who supplies the seals to TRF, being in the UK I rarely get to
see TRF product.

This isn't familiar. Do the TRF seals have the shaped ends to match the
skin? What about the two moulded humps on the inside face?

Again, this points to a completely different product.

That would confirm that the product TRF stocks does NOT come from the UK
source I am querying.
Cheers,
Bill.
