It looks a minter to me, no wear on the fixed plates at all, at a guess id say xtrac made it, they subcontract for most trans manufacturers, i watched as my ZF was rebuilt and tested with a torque wrench to the slip point. mine was 25/60. a good find. getting it in there is best.

A comment online by paul at Guard suggests the oem is GKN.

However they are often swapped out for motorsport

To prove Lee's point even more (I hate it when he's right again ): GKN is a german company that only supplied the friction plates AFAIK. Its only those plates that are '****' as Guard mentioned sometimes, the LSD housing, spider gears and all are whats 'made in the uk'...(afaik)
