    Are these known as Type P then?

    I'm not sure, I found on Wikipedia that these are called type PB5. Maybe I should change the type to other

    I asked LBSG about them, and they just said they refer to them as Broadwater because that's who manufactures them, apparently. I don't think they have a proper type code, so I thought maybe you knew something I didn't. 😂

    Hahaha not to worry at all. I think they might refer to it internally as a PB5 but who knows 🤷. I'd love to know the true name/code for them though. So if you do find out please let me know 😊. You're doing great. Catching up with Hazel 😜
