Anyone know / recognize the *MANUFACTURER/BRAND* of this ball-joint?

It's of the "long type" and most likely bought from Mini Spares around 2005-ish.
I've got some from their 2009 stock (assuming date/year is what is printed on the small MS part-no. stickers) but they are not the same... and from what I can tell - sadly of inferior quality. (first set developed slack after 30mins of track time!)
