Yes they are, they are owned by AUP.

I did the inflator swap when I still had my Recon, which is what Hollis copied to make the SMS100. I do like the inflator hose coming from the bottom, but it is just my personal preference. Use it whichever you prefer. Not sure how often or why you would be manually inflating in a SM passage, but whatever works for the diving you do.
