Does the 4500 in the box mean only 4.5kA breaking capacity ? That's "rather low" compared to the normal 6kA and occasionally 10kA found on other makes.These also look identical. Again, no mentionof specific busbar.

Not so much bespoke, more "snall vendor". Mind you, the big vendors leave you in the same position when they change ranges - the cynics might think deliberately to obsolete installed systems.
Small vendor or bespoke it makes little difference it was a gamble to use their products and not face fallout in the long run. Of course the prominent brands chop and change with no backward compatibility but there is availability to some extent and the odd brand do maintain compatibility/availability. Schneider took over Merlin Gerin and Square D and to their credit still provide compatible parts. Given the choice of using SBS products it would not even be considered because the nature of the product and it's uniqueness it would not have been a viable option.
I strongly suspect that 'Live' really just re-brand some supplier who makes a lot more for the EU market, maybe they are listed as they got UK certification/testing done for SBS, or just for internal purposes to sell to SBS?
I notice, scrolling down in that link, they have the ½ module width mcb's as well.
