There are just rebadged MK old style aren't they? When did they stop making them? I'm guessing that there's nothing 'officially' compatible available now?

Bonus points for the "unknown" circuit that I've only just noticed looking at the pic!

Sorry for the late reply but feel I need to have a guess at the unknown circuit being the immersion heater ?

 

[GBDamo]

Why's the light in Blue/Brown and the feed in Red/Black?

Mmm, maybe there's a well terminated, maintenance free junction box.

Let's do some delicate ceiling surgery with the hammer and admire the beautiful work this craftsperson.

Well that was a surprise, not one badly made joint but two for the price of a new ceiling, barging!

That is the work of an EM lighting installation company.

Not all builders ride a horse and some "sparks" wear a stetson.

Good guess, but it turned out to be a socket under the sink (no idea why, there was another socket beside it on the original ring that had been split into two radials at some point.

Since I actually needed a feed for the utility room next door anyway, it worked out in my favour for a change!

You need to sleeve those blues and yellows red?

And yellows, don't have any red sleeve or tape. Will add to the snag list.

You can use brown sleeve too. Providing you gave a mixed colours sign on the consumer unit.

My old house used to have a switch in the kitchen that turn on the immersion heater upstairs, I removed it and fitted a socket when the immersion heater was removed so someone may of done the same thing.
