They're all really one and the same. Without my books in front of me, I
forget which was the actual company name, but the same company owned
rights to various names and carbs (also including Solex, IMS).
Keep in mind, though, that these carburetors were actually inventions of
Triumph in the early 1960s, to avoid the markup price charged to Triumph on
SUs (said company owned at the time by "arch-rival" BMC), supposedly
much higher than the prices charged for similar carbs used on MGs, etc.
