is this a Marley Wessex tile?

Hi, I need a vent tile fitting to my roof, so I'm trying to ID the tiles that are up there. To all intents and purposes, they look like Marley Wessex, and gauging the width by using the guttering running outlet as a known width (150mm), they come out pretty much at 330mm (correct width of a Wessex tile). However, looking at the length, if I use the guttering stop end as a gauge (apporx 115mm width, I'm calculating a tile length of approx 350mm, not the 420mm of a Wessex tile. The tiles are circa 1975.
Do I have Marley Wessex tiles... or something very similar, but not quite the same?

Cheers,
Chris

Hideous or not... they keep the rain out!

From a fitters point of view them and Moderns are waz to fit. I don’t suppose they’d win any beauty competitions either.
We use Marley Mendips now, when ever we encounter a low pitch roof.
