RCBO's are available from any reputable electrical wholesaler

Yeah, we use the 12 way insulated enclosures ( MGPK12) i've also seen Square D branded CU's that are identical, I'm sure there will be more as Lectrician said.

Incidentally if you buying second hand rcbo's from ebay there was a faulty batch a year or 2 that got recalled but these will be a batch of the ones with black N leads.

And thinking about it, I have seen some moulded CU's branded by Merlin in Portacabins. I would hazard a guess they where supplied to Portacabin as a special by Merlin, and merlin simply badged a generic enclosure,
